If major miltitary action is needed against Iran, much will be done via the air..the massive US base structure in Germany will be brought into play...OTOH..I look for Merkel to try to stop the closing of the US bases..
Why should she? It´s not all about money. We simply accept the need for restructuring the US military. Now, we would wonder if your tried to leave NATO AB Ramstein, but that step would be unlikely. Why do you think we would only follow the money instead of honest motives? I mean, it´s like if I reproached Bush with starting the Iraq war for oil.
