Why does the United States still have military bases across Europe decades after World War II and the Cold War? Are US troops truly stationed in Europe to protect NATO allies, or do these bases serve a larger American strategy of influence and global power projection? In this video, we dive into the real reasons behind the continued US military presence in Europe and what it means for both Americans and Europeans today.
From Germany and Italy to NATO’s eastern flank, US European Command (EUCOM) oversees thousands of troops and bases that play a role far beyond Europe—supporting operations in the Middle East, Africa, and beyond. While Washington often frames these bases as essential for European security, critics argue they are just as much about protecting US interests and expanding American influence.
We’ll explore what Europeans really think about the US presence in their countries, how recent political rhetoric from Washington (including comments about Greenland, Denmark, and even Canada) contrasts with EUCOM’s stated goals, and whether Europe still needs American protection in the 21st century.
Should the United States still have military bases in Europe, or is it time for change? Watch to find out, and let us know your thoughts in the comments.
