- eru 13y agoYes, and as the article says, the locals are also paying. The parlance seems to be "costs and burden-sharing". On the other hand a fraction of ten billion USD is not that much for the Germans to sacrifice for slightly more privacy. (A fraction, since ten billion USD is the total cost the US pays, and Germany is but one country they have bases in.) The bases do provide security, though.
