"but continental Europe will be responsible for its own defence. That much is clear."
Good for us, bad for the US. But I'm not sure this will happen. If the Bushies have their occasional lucidum intervallum, they may realise that this is against their interest. Also, a russian threat would have to get through "new europe"
which looks for US protection.
"The US is talking about closing bases in Germany."
Which has to do with US strategic interests, and nil with german security. And Germany doesn't exactly need to "re"-arm to defend itself.
