    The problem is that, it’s bringing war in our own soil from day-1. Sure it’s easy to launch a few missile at an US base a few minutes before having infantry taking them over, but during that time your fighting on your own soil.

      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”

      That’s war. If the NSA (Nazi States of America) attacked, where do you think the fighting would happen? In the Atlantic Ocean? Either way it will be in Europe to begin with. At least the EU would have a chance to confiscate some of the equipment and use it against them
