U.S. military refocuses on Asia

Bad news. U.S. partial withdrawal from the European theatre:

The Obama administration has decided to remove two of the four U.S. Army brigades remaining in Europe as part of a broader effort to cut $487 billion from the Pentagon’s budget over the next decade, said senior U.S. officials.

It is completely unclear to me how the U.S. would fill the military gap created by the dramatic withdrawal. A workable European defense infrastructure is not ready yet.
