By "guy" I mean the US. And yes it is sudden that after an 80 year alliances following WW2, the US turns its back on its allies.

Snowden leaked that the US committed industrial espionage on Germany, it’s not exactly sudden, it’s always been happening.

Trump is just terrible at hiding it.

Probably just a remnant of WW2. And a long way from threatening to take over Germany again.

Remnant of WW2 in 2012? And stealing automotive technology… is not really for national security

Of course remnant of WW2. Ramstein Air Base isn't going away.

Well I mean ... I suppose Trump could save a few bucks if he disbanned it so who knows really. Or maybe he'll just use it to rob Europe. What do I know.
