Bottom Line: More stuff to move out of Germany.

But they will have to take more of the political blame for it.

Bulgaria might be better geographically, and less expensive.

Perhaps getting Germany to kick out Ramstein would shake out the funds to build a replacement for Incirlik in Bulgaria, Greece or Israel. Maybe 1/3 in each.

Greece? Surely you jest. Study your history. The socialist Greek government under Papandreou kicked us out of Greece. We closed our bases including on Crete.

A military base in Israel is a non- starter for many reasons.

I’d prefer to see them stay in Germany but squeeze some money out of the Germans for it. There are still a lot of advantages to staying in Germany if we are going to have a major military presence in Europe. The infrastructure is already there, and Germany is the transportation hub of Europe and dominates the northern European plain.
