On direct orders from Putin, following a 90-minute phone call, Trump has announced he is reviewing the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Germany.
The tweet says the United States is “studying and reviewing” a possible reduction. But the effect is the same. You threaten to remove the forces that have kept Europe stable for eighty years, and the only person on the planet who benefits is the one sitting in the Kremlin.
The stated reason is punishment. Trump wants to penalize NATO allies who did not support his Iran war. Germany is the primary target. Poland, Romania, Lithuania and Greece stand to gain whatever troops Berlin loses. 
The problem is that Ramstein Air Base in Germany served as a logistics hub for those very Iran operations. Trump is threatening to dismantle the infrastructure that made his own war possible.
U.S. forces are not stationed in Germany as a favor to the Germans. They are there to deter aggression, support rapid deployment to the Middle East and Africa, and use facilities provided free of charge by German taxpayers. 
The tweet closes with “Thank you for your attention to this matter.” Signed, apparently, by a man who just handed Moscow a foreign policy victory without firing a single shot.
Putin did not need to invade Germany. He just needed to wait for Trump to empty it.
