The US keeps bases all over Europe, which does not want us there, refuses to assist in payment, and the US taxpayer bears the brunt of the massive costs. The time has come for Europe to defend itself and not rely on the United States, which it then criticizes for any action or no action at all. The only bases we should keep are those in bona fide strategic locations, ie., Qatar, Kuwait, Israel, Japan, and either the Phillippines or Australia.
In addition, our membership in NATO costs the USA about 1 trillion dollars a year, money we can no longer afford, and they, like the UN, are an organization that not is a failure but has also outlived its usefulness. Let Europe police Europe and let America mind our own business. There is no Cold War any longer, Ronaldus Magnus won it.
