For example, Ramstein Air Base — the largest in Germany — has been used as a vital staging post for the U.S. military interventions in Iraq and Libya, which Berlin either opposed or did not participate in.

Shut it down. Work out a deal with Israel and Egypt to place a base in Sinai as a staging post for the U.S. military in the region. We already provide aid to Egypt and Israel and they would welcome our presence. Germany has not been acting as a friend lately.

What’s the point of troops in Germany? It’s obvious they just let anybody walk on in.

Excellent idea. I know Ramstein has been and is a valuable asset, but it could be replaced in friendlier territory.
