    There is nothing, which can replace the US bases in Germany on short notice. These are state of the art facilites, which have been built up over literally decades. Even if you moved them to say Poland or Romania, that would take years and billions.

    At the same time with Germany rearming, it should be rather possible for the Bundeswehr to take them over. So the local economy would not be impacted as badly.

      Last time it was talked about thus, the threat was to move to the baltics. Which would probably a good idea anyway as it would scare off russia much better.
