Be careful with these perceptions, there are a lot of gullible people that are easily influenced by US/NATO propaganda.
The pampered are often the most gullible... tell them as european they are the most civilised and most technologically advanced people in the world, and they will think they are well informed and above propaganda... unlike those stupid ignorant masses in the Soviet Union who believed everything their governments told them...
Civilised and advanced remember...
As an example, Germany, Japan, and South Korea have been hosting American military bases for decades, did the majority of the population questioned why their government tolerate US forces?
Which makes them weak vassals that Russia really does not need to worry too much about... if they start getting delusions of grandeur and think that in this new multipolar world they could possibly form one of those poles and get a seat at the big table the US will smack them down and put them back where they belong and they will be so used to doing what they are told they will just quietly go back to the kids seat...
and even when there are protests like the ones in Okinawa, these are miniscule events that are easily ignored both by the US and Puppet government of these vassal countries.
Who knows how deep seated and popular such things are... the western media will never be honest about such things... perhaps one day it will explode and the people will get their say... if not then the convict walks back into their own cell and closes the door... no need to lock it any more the convict is broken.
In the Philippines, US bases have been kicked out in 1991, however, the US is quick to sign a treaty with the Philippine puppet government to allow rotational deployment of US military assets in the country, and according to polls, a huge majority of the Philippine population views the US positively, this is despite all the information out there exposing America as a fraud, warmongering, and corrupt entity. The election of Duterte who is anti US probably caught the Americans by surprise, but since he started office the Americans already activated their 5th column agents inside the country to disrupt his government. Duterte only has until 2022 and a new president will be elected, the US is already grooming their next puppet whom they can command to take on policies that will be hostile to China. Aquino (president from 2010 to 2016), who imposed a broad anti China policy is a good example of a US puppet. A month before the Philippine presidential election back in 2010, Time magazine made an article talking about how he can "SAVE" the country. It's like Time Magazine already knew that he will win the election
The situation is not always clear to everyone... but eventually like in Venezuela people start to realise that despite the rhetoric some governments really don't do anything to solve the problems of the poor majority and only the minority with money can take advantage of the system to make more money.
There will be lots of countries jumping on the anti China train... but eventually they are going to realise it takes them further and further away from their interests and the conductor seems to be drunk and owes everyone on the train money and starts talking about offering payment in money he printed himself this morning...
How long can he keep all those balls in the air...
We are pulling thousands of men out of each country yes but it's not a total withdrawal, it's pretty much a moot point since I imagine Biden will just send them right back.
The Taleban will approve of the withdrawal, but might take them being sent back by Biden as a hostile act that requires a response...
While the refugees and the migrants are getting free money and free everything, the veterans in NATO get nothing(kind of karma), this is something that should be targeted.
Worse than that, your veterans would get better treatment and living conditions and healthcare support if they committed crimes... how sad is that... and it is not just veterans but most of the elderly...
The way to deal with this, to squeeze them economically.
Expose their bullshit, and take them for every penny they want to throw at the Russia/China problem...
Make funded agitation for foreign powers a criminal offense with fines tens of thousands of times higher than any normal offence... use the money generated from those fines to support the victims of the offense, or vulnerable groups.
