This Europe is not the same as it was in 1945 or even after. Great Britain and France are nuclear weapons and clearly seems to defend itself. Even Europe’s biggest economy Germany has enough armed forces to defend itself and others. The former Soviet Union (Now Russia) has no intention to invade the Western side of Europe. If you think that Georgia was invaded. Well it was in the neighborhood and some Russia still thinks it is their neighborhood. But they did not invade Hungary, Poland, Chezk Republic or other countries since they were already independent before they were forced into the Warsaw Pact treaty.
But as I said before we have two nuclear armed powers and one ready to go if it wants to defend the whole continent along with other small armies. So why the needs to keep such a large American force is beyond my comprehension. If anybody can explain the reasoning I am all ears. Otherwise we need to keep a token force of very small force if need be and bring back rest of the forces. And also Russia is in no mood to start a War and destroy what is left remaining of it, just to have the glory of being a Superpower again. They have too much to loose economically and gain nothing from a military adventure (which by way it has not done since 1945) by invading the West.
