I think, as has been noted, that this is exactly what they want. Our response should be to add even more bases by 300%, using other Nato troops. Furthermore, we will be conducting war preparations and exercises 24/7, primarily at night and in urban areas. Helicopter and jet flights will increase by 500%. Roads, highways and railways to be blocked off for military use only on extremely short notice, and often.
That should piss 'em off.
this is exactly what they want. [Giving up our bases in Germany]
We won those bases as a spoil of war. They can't kick us out or prevent us from using them in any way we please. We only lose them if we walk away. I'm with you. Plant our boots and give a cat-that-swallowed-the-canary grin to the barbarians.
See, we can make long words up, too.;-)
