We have a lot of troops there. We send a lot of money their way. If we were to pull out all our troops, Germany would not only lose a huge part of their economy, they'd lose the additional defense.
Yeah. I think someone got a phone call.
US military presence in Germany does not constitute “a huge part of [Germany’s] economy.” A welcome part, no doubt, but a very small part.
Conversely, the US would lose strategic bases close(r) to all the Mid East trouble spots. Including medical facilities used to treat troops wounded in Afghanistan etc.
The respective interests are pretty even, I’d say.
