The United States has more than 160,000 troops stationed abroad with 66,000 in Europe where they have dubious necessity. Wouldn't it be a better idea to negotiate a thirty-year base lease with Afghanistan and station 20,000 there instead of in Europe.
Certainly nostalgists of the cold war would like lasting enmity with Russia as if the recrudescent of Marxism-Leninism was just barely contained, yet with China's long-term financial advantages over the U.S.A. that lacks any sort of domestic infrastructure reform plans to move to better and more futuristic zero-carbon transportation forms and is moving toward unreal paper-financial sector skimming instead of material production the nation's leadership should be somewhat more realistic about threats to global security in the long run.
Afghanistan is centrally located and could be a reasonable location to reply if necessary to military dangers across Eurasia a a little better than somewhere near the plain of Marlborough and Thatcherville or the Strudel District of Bavaria. Besides, there might be more civilian jobs serving basic education in Afghanistan or installing solar panels than in cloudy, highly educated Western Europe.
