Medium or long term sure.

Suddenly & without a German replacement of capability? Not so good.

Trump is a Russian asset.

    American overseas bases are load-bearing structures for America's expeditionary warfare capacity.

    I agree that a planned drawdown would be better, but if the only chance we have of getting out of Europe is Trump angrily closing all bases via executive order, it'll have to do.
