Maybe the fact that US soldiers and military bases exist inside Germany's borders is slightly more important than where the gold is. First regain your sovereignty, I'd say.

Yes, close Ramstein and close Landstuhl, which were used for every US war in the Middle East in the last 30 years.

Nothing wrong with going for the low hanging fruit first.

The USA is threatening to pull out of NATO anyway, so those might go away.

I am guessing that these bases are one of the last things to go. Would be a major diplomatic incident. But then again Trump creates those for breakfast, so who knows when we finally have had enough.
