Original Note:
NNN Germany pays about 100 millions per year for US bases. The US pay around 30 billions per year for the US military in Germany. Critics point out that the US would have to pay their military regardless of their location – but in other locations they wouldn't defend Germany. https://www.euractiv.com/section/defence-and-security/news/germany-spent-over-1-billion-to-cover-costs-linked-to-us-troops-presence/ https://www.brookings.edu/articles/what-trump-gets-wrong-on-allied-burden-sharing/
