Where debating everything under the sun is only the beginning

The Iranians have ballistic missiles that will easily blanket the EU…

What about an apocalyptic theocracy do you not understand?

You have maps; look at an atlas, Bel and Sang

Even if they were, what would you have a president do? Start another costly and pointless war in Iran and if we depose the regime create the leadership vacuum that would allow the real apocalyptic cult (ISIL) to take over because "conservatives" ironically are the ones that don't learn from (even recent) history?

First, it isn't an American problem.
Second, it isn't an American problem.
Last, it isn't an American problem.

Quit, but if the Republicans act out of inflated fear of Iran's missile capability and this myth that they're an apocalyptic cult it becomes all our problem in the form of thousands of more lives lost, hundreds of billions added to the debt, etc.

Second, we invented maps, don't give me advices about maps.

If you know the capabilities of the hardware Iran has bought, and have access to maps, then you know what's possible. If you'd rather hide your head in the sand — how would you feel, if the U.S. said, "Fine! You're on your own…"?

US military bases in Europe are to protect the USA and not Europe

How do they do that?

You do know that eight of those bases are co-bases, don't you?

Why doesn't Deutschland ask the US military to leave?

Why is there still a German military? Germany has no enemies.

Since when an American President gives a damn shit about what a German chancellor asks?
Besides, after capitulation Germany had to sign some treaties. Some of them are still classified and seem to last forever...
US military bases on German territory are just part of them. We even have to co-finance them.

Hitler said in Mein Kampf (1924) that he would abolish the Treaty of Versailles.   The Treaty had said he could only have an army of 100,000 men.   Hitler built up his army in secret, then, in 1935, he openly held a huge rearmament rally.   Britain made a naval agreement with Germany (the Treaty had said that Germany could only have 6 battleships).   In 1936, Hitler introduced conscription, and war-tested his armed forces in the Spanish Civil War. 
In 1936, also, Hitler broke the Treaty of Versailles by moving troops into the Rhineland demilitarised zone.
Hitler also broke the Treaty of Versailles in 1938 by invading Austria and declaring Anschluss.   By the end of 1938, Hitler was doing the same thing in the Sudentenland, which the Treaty of Versailles had given to Czechoslovakia. 
It can be argued that it was not just Hitler who broke the Treaty of Versailles, but also Britain and France, when they allowed him to do what he did.

And if Germany is so under important why did the US spy on the Chancellor's phone??

Two British diplomats have been caught illegally filming military aircraft near an airfield in North Ossetia, Russian state TV has claimed.
Rossiya 1 said defence attache Carl Scott and assistant naval attache Ryan Coatalen-Hodgson from the Moscow embassy were spying near Mozdok base.
The Foreign Office confirmed that two British men were stopped.

Treaties are made to be broken.

There are no US bases in France.

Because excepting some economic dependences, France is a sovereign state.

And Germany isn't?
