NATO membership enables the US to have air bases in the UK and Turkey, Navy bases in Spain and Italy, and in other parts of Europe with overflight rights for military planes. Most of the air traffic for the US wars in the middle east goes through Germany, and most injured soldiers go back through Germany [0] Many US soldiers survive because they get through Landstuhl. Ramstein is also rumored to be the primary operation center for drone strikes, although the US military denies this.

  > NATO membership enables the US to have air bases in the UK and Turkey The US has military bases in Qatar, Seychelles, and the Philippines. It's almost as if NATO membership has nothing to do with it.

  NATO is obsolete for whom? And have you seen the numbers of visually confirmed destroyed equipment and the drone shots of dead Russians, because that makes Afghanistan look good in comparison.
