The Trump administration has just nominated a slew of new generals to head up top US military commands in the Middle East, Africa, and Europe.

Importantly, Air Force General Alex Grynkewich has been nominated as NATO’s new Supreme Allied Commander in Europe (SACEUR) and head of U.S. European Command (EUCOM).

This comes amid reports that the US under the Trump administration is growing frustrated enough to ‘step back’ from NATO leadership, with lack of collective defense spending out of Europe.

Defense News last month acknowledged, :The nomination to head European Command, which is not yet final, comes at a moment of uncertainty for America’s military commitment to Europe, potentially including cuts to U.S. forces on the continent and a lesser role in the NATO alliance.”

Could this be a culling of generals currently executing neocon plans in anticipation of a directional change – perhaps?
