Are these really pure US bases though? My understanding is they are mainly NATO bases where the US is present as well.
The footnote even says it: “at which DOD exercises some degree of operational control”
Ramstein (and its surroundings) is de facto US territory that hosts F35 and most likely a bunch of nuclear warheads (officially there shouldn’t be any, but no one can really rely on that obviously).
I have no clue about military stuff, so I don’t know how easily planes can be intercepted etc. but I doubt Europe’s capabilities are centred around jets flying from within Germany. How quickly can an F35 reach Paris?
