It's because they're in distress but trying to hide it from Trump.
Not sure The Donald is getting the reaction he thought he would with his threat of pulling his troops out of Europe. Maybe he can base some in his mate's country - Russia.

dementia is brutal
Trump: "I took three cognitive tests. Aced all of them, by the way. I'm the only president to take a cognitive test. I don't think Obama could pass it. The first question is very easy -- it's a lion, a giraffe, a bear, and a shark. They say, 'Which one is the bear?'"

Performative nonsense.
He can't withdraw too many because that'll trigger congressional oversight, same with their weapons. It's basically a reset to pre-2022/invasion of Ukraine levels.
A brief follow-up on the asset discussion above,
"There are two keys to answering this question. The first is to ignore the distractions of the (presently, at least partially) unknowns, the “what is motivating these actions?”"

KYIVPOST.COM Looks like the demented old fool is bored of the Iran war now and thinks that he hasn’t quite caused enough economic chaos, so he’s firing up another trade war with Europe. As well as withdrawing troops from Germany, Spain and Italy in a toddler like tantrum. But he’s definitely not a Russian asset, right?
There’s certainly been absolutely no evidence of it whatsoever in this second Trump term. Just an Emperor doing what the hell he likes.
Hegseth was humiliated the other day during Senate questioning, and it became obvious that these fools have started a war with no plan or strategy
But that doesn’t change a bloody thing. All it did was highlight how impotent congress is. They can’t actually do anything at all to restrain Trump. He started a war, without bothering to even inform congress, never mind consult them.
So much for their much heralded constitution that they’re always banging on about. In the face of Trump, it’s shown not to be worth the paper it’s printed on. America doesn’t have a democracy, it now has a monarchy. Ironic given what we’ve seen this week with a visit by our own (ceremonial) monarch
