US to Withdraw 5,000 Troops From Germany in Next 6-12 Months, Fulfilling Trump’s Threat

Published by Sam Flores

WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States will withdraw about 5,000 troops from Germany in the next six to 12 months, the Pentagon said Friday, fulfilling President Donald Trump’s threat as he clashes with the German leader over the U.S. war with Iran. Trump had threatened to withdraw some troops from the NATO ally earlier this week after Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the U.S. was being “humiliated” by the Iranian leadership and criticized Washington’s lack of strategy in the war. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement that the “decision follows a thorough review of the Department’s force posture in Europe and is in recognition of theater requirements and conditions on the ground.” Germany hosts several U.S. military facilities, including the headquarters of its European and Africa commands, Ramstein Air Base and a medical center in Landstuhl, where casualties from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were treated. U.S. nuclear missiles are also stationed in the country. The number of troops leaving Germany would be 14% of the 36,000 American service members stationed there. German …

Ukraine’s Zelenskiy says Russia will have difficulty fulfilling planned advances

March 2 (Reuters) – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Monday that Russia’s military had failed to achieve aims it set out last year and ‌would have difficulty fulfilling advances he said Moscow hoped to achieve. Zelenskiy, ‌addressing journalists in Kyiv, said Moscow’s plans of seizing all of eastern Ukraine and areas further south ​remained unchanged. But he said Moscow also hoped to advance towards the southeastern city of Dnipro and was also considering how to make gains in the southern Odesa region on the Black Sea. He said Ukraine had secured maps outlining Russian plans for 2026-2027 but ‌the maps had “nothing in common ⁠with reality” because Russia could not accomplish the task. “We understand what they want. We understand that their directions remain current – the occupation ⁠of the east of our country, specifically the Donetsk and Luhansk regions,” he said. “They certainly want to continue in the direction of the Zaporizhzhia region and toward the city ​of Dnipro. ​And although it is difficult for them, ​they are looking toward the ‌Odesa region.” …

(RNS) — Last year, Jeremiah Hnamte closed the family’s manufacturing business in the city of Aizawl, in northeastern India. The family moved into a rented apartment and sold their land and possessions, all in preparation for moving to Israel in the near future. The Hnamtes are members of the Bnei Menashe community, a few thousand people concentrated mostly in two hilly northeastern India states, Mizoram and Manipur, near the Myanmar border, who believe they’re descendants of a 2,700-year-old biblical lost tribe. Making aliyah, Hebrew for migrating to Israel, has been the Bnei Menashe’s dream for decades, but they do not qualify under the Israeli law of return, which requires people to have at least one Jewish grandparent in order to be considered for citizenship. Since 1989, though, through special government permissions, about 4,000 Bnei Menashe have been able to make aliyah, but just as many people have spent years, in some cases generations, attempting to move to Israel.  In November this year, however, the Israeli government announced that the entire Bnei Menashe community — estimated …
