Summary
Unidentified drones were recently spotted over the US air base in Ramstein, Germany, and facilities belonging to German arms maker Rheinmetall, according to Der Spiegel.
Similar sightings occurred earlier in Brunsbüttel, with some officials suspecting Russian espionage, though no evidence has been confirmed.
The US Air Force stated the Ramstein base experienced “no impacts” and is monitoring the airspace with German authorities.
This follows reports of drone sightings in New Jersey and at UK air bases, which US authorities say do not currently pose a national security threat.
Why is there a US base in Germany?
why is there a us base anywhere outside of the us? because national security.
have you lived under a rock for the past 65 years or are you twelve?
Short answer: imperialism.
Long answer: there was this failed painter from Austria once…
If you put a base in another country to help stop their imperialism, does it cancel out?
I’d say it gets multiplied.
There are US bases all over the world. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_American_military_installations
Britain and the US have army bases in Germany ever since WW2
Russia had some until the 90s as well.
They did an oopsie in the 40s and it’s inertia from there.
That said, IIRC there is a German base in the US too.
Hehe calling that a base in Germany is an understatement if you’ve ever been there. It’s a God damn American city in the middle of Germany lol
Makes it easier to bomb other countries when you have somewhere to do a layover.
