And also there is still a big US infrastructure at hand with all the bases.

Hehe that's an understatement. I think we have like an entire city there full of American soldiers.

Well given what Germany did for an entire half century not long ago and what Russia did in close proximity it’s understandable

Multiple cities. At least Ramstein and Spangdahlem are really big and could count as a small city. That's why I said there is still a good infrastructure even after a lot of US soldiers were sent home and bases got closed in the last few years.
