The U.S. has enjoyed using these bases to bully Russia, spy on Europe, be a staging point for Middle East nonsense, and exert inordinate amount of influence across the globe.
The Europeans are HAPPY to have American money from military servicemembers flowing into their economy, and they also rely on America for defense and keep their national military spending levels way lower than they ought to be, so they can spend that money on socialist welfare programs and such.
