If our bases are so unwanted around the globe why don’t they kick us out? Oh that’s right.



Careful Alicecooper. With Trump in the White House, some countries are thinking of just doing that. The opinion of many of the citizens in Germany is that they want us out, but the German Leaders want to keep us in. Poland wants us in their country, which would be both a good ideal and a tactical advantage for us if Russia decides to invade Eastern Europe. We really are at a disadvantage with our bases in Germany if Russia decides to roll over its neighboring countries and declare war on us. Our forces in Germany would have to wait for reinforcements and that would allow Russia much time to take other countries and half of Poland before we get the force we need to stop them taking the rest of Europe or even to push them back.
