We paid for them, we hire their nationals to operate them. We should be able to fly in and out and have sustainment bases for forward based supplies. They should be treated like the embassy, our territory within a foreign nation.
The Iran situation shows this importance.
The US is typically in command of NATO so we have our say about stationing.
BUT I want to see the day the US does not NEED any forward deployed bases or troops!!!! Are we there yet? IDK, I don't think so . . .
If you can't use them then you shouldn't pay for them, just withdraw all your troops and equipment back home from Europe, close the bases, and leave NATO.
What's wrong with leaving Europe and NATO as it only makes economical sense as keeping all our solders in the US with even possible more US bases makes the most sense.
At this thing Russians and MAGA actually agree with. Europe is nothing but liability to America. The closer the USA is to Europe, the weaker the USA is because those parasites pull you down.
The USA should leave NATO, close all military bases in Europe, withdraw all American troops & equipment from Europe, and start following Monroe doctrine.
Listen to X22 from last night.
Trump and Orban may have played the EU.
They will eventually use Orban to head the EU.
Yeah, it looks like another long-planned masterstroke from the white hats.
👍.
Yes there is something for the USA in Europe:
All their bases are belong to us!

"Yes, you paid for them but you can't use them."
...that is simply a "clerical issue"...
...easily rectified...
How do they stop us from using them, other than decommissioning them? just asking
The USA asked permission to use those bases when the US - Iran war was going on, and Europe declined.
Apparently we did not need them enough . . .
[They aren't going to shoot down a US plane are they?]
"All their bases belong to us!"
...you have a firm grasp of the situational reality...
just my military mind!
…and get our money back.

I agree, the USA has wasted $22 trillion funding European defense never benefiting from it. That's 61% of the USA's total national debt.
He's the new Boss but he is the same as the old Boss and it make's me giggle for once...I don't worry about it myself.
Guise...Guise...The Russian thinks we should wrap it up lol
