Really any idea how much money we have in Europe? Any idea where our planes will land, get fuel etc if the shit does hit the fan? Sometime when I see stuff like this from people who don’t think at all critically it drives me a little crazy.Knee jerk reactions can have severe consequences. How do you move an entire military base?
If the shit hits the fan, it's up to the Europeans. Why do we have to be there anymore? The military bases are there for an antiquated cold war concept that doesn't exist anymore. Geopolitics have vastly changed.
We closed about 90 military bases in the UK in roughly 30 years, and now have less than a dozen. Seems like a roadmap to me.
We have a Navy with aircraft carriers (we may need more though), agreements with other countries outside Europe, bombers that can leave from Barksdale to fly to wherever we need them to bomb and just return to base, subs, and missiles.
It's not ideal but our military can adapt and overcome with the right commander-in-chief. We have him now.
