@JayJay5244 I beg to differ. I used to have connecting flights via Frankfurt, which was a beehive during the early stages of the Iraq War on account of the US air base right next to it. My uniformed fellow passengers made no secret of going to or having been in Iraq. Being a two-tour vet myself, I had no complaints about the company I was keeping (although the increased airport security was a chore), since it was a shared US air base and the passenger jets were those of US airlines, but had I been German, I definitely would've minded. After all, Germany opposed the Iraq War, and for all the right reasons, as it turned out. To this day, Germany is paying a steep price for your military adventurism.
You can't fault the former Soviet bloc countries for seeking security guarantees from NATO to stave off Russian aggression. If you Americans have geopolitical concerns and consider the countries in question mere pawns, you should make yourselves scarce from Europe.
