The state of American bases in Germany

This is again a common lie for cattle. They were not there against the USSR.
At first they weren't. Then Russia erected the Iron Curtain and began behaving belligerently towards its allies, violating the promises made in treaties to its allies so by 1947 the bases WERE there to protect Germany and the rest of Europe against Russia.
 
I have no idea why the elder Bush allowed the illegal anschluss of the GDR, it was always against the interests of Republicans and the United States. But it was a disaster for the United States
Actually, it was a good thing for Europe and the USA. A united Germany is a good foil against Russian Imperialism. It also curbed West Germany's economic dominance of Europe by forcing it to turn its resources to repairing the damage done by the Russians inside East Germany.

There is the largest presence in Eurasia. (now minus Afghanistan)
Your map is very out of date. There are no US troops in Iraq or Afghanistan and with the ending of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the numbers of troops in the other countries have declined.

It started with the Caribbean crisis, but it's not Russia's fault. Kennedy seized power and the United States began leftist terror.
But relations got better under Nixon.

At that time, there were forces loyal to the United States in RF in power
And German unification was never allowed. Besides, it was an illegal seizure

Kennedy didn't seize power, he was elected. As in most elections there were some shady actions by both sides, but the election was largely fair and open Chicago aside.

The Russians were NEVER loyal to the USA or any of the WAllies for that matter. Stalin used the WAllies and immediately reneged on his agreements made at Teheran and Yalta about the future of the countries that became the Warsaw Pact. The East Germans chose to join West Germany, so it was anything but an illegal seizure. If you want illegal seizures, look at Hungary in 1956 and Czechoslovakia in 1968 where Russia sent in troops to reconquer countries that wanted out of the Warsaw pact.

Lies.Yeltsin was loyal to the United States, he destroyed all communists and began the privatization of state property. Then Clinton came and supported the left side. It was he who raised a modern centralist United Russia in the Russian Federation

No he wasn't, he just realized that communism had failed, and the USSR couldn't afford to remain communist.
 
Stalin was also loyal to the United States, only not to the right, but to the communists of Roosevelt. They were both Churchill's dogs
What are you, ten years old? You are either massively ignorant or a compulsive liar. In the months you've been posting, you've managed to not post a single accurate thing. That's quite an accomplishment for the amount of posts you have made. Here is a simple explanation from Wikki:
"The East German government started to falter in May 1989, when the removal of Hungary's border fence with Austria opened a hole in the Iron Curtain. The border was still closely guarded, but the Pan-European Picnic and the indecisive reaction of the rulers of the Eastern Bloc set in motion an irreversible peaceful movement.[2][3] It allowed an exodus of thousands of East Germans fleeing to West Germany via Hungary. The Peaceful Revolution, a series of protests by East Germans, led to the GDR's first free elections on 18 March 1990 and to the negotiations between the GDR and FRG that culminated in a Unification Treaty.[1] Other negotiations between the GDR and FRG and the four occupying powers produced the so-called "Two Plus Four Treaty" (Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany), granting full sovereignty to a unified German state, whose two parts were previously bound by a number of limitations stemming from their post-World War II status as occupied regions.".
 
Since the threat of the Soviet Union is gone, there is no need for all the bases in Germany.
e.
Close them and save the American people millions.

What makes you think closing those bases would save the U.S. any money?

In fact it would cost the U.S. billions to replace the logistics centers in German with something else
 
The U.S could save a lot of money by abandoning bases in Germany that have been considered "occupied" about 75 years after the War. Go for it Germans.

We have 14 or 15 bases in Germany. I think 2 or 3 bases could handle the logistics needs.

Are you even remotely aware of what those logistics needs might be?

A guy that grew up down the road from my parents house was saved by the quick medical attention he got at the massive Ramstein Air Base hospital.

The hospitals would stay. I am talking about the baes built to serve as a line of defense against an enemy that no longer exists.
