Unless Trump wants to start WW3 the US won't be able to do anything, and even if he did start WW3, Europe would be able to destroy those bases.
The whole point of them was to give the US influence while improving US security. Given Europe can't trust Trump will come to their aid, they won't give the US as much influence over Europe.
Have you ever wondered why the US is able to spend so much on its military? Ever wondered why the US keeps on printing the dollar that's not backed by any gold reserve and other nations still give you real things such as food, resources, goods in exchange for it?
Here's a hint! It's your military. To put it bluntly, European nations and other US allies pretend the dollar has actual value and the US in turn guarantees security and backs the world order based on the rule of law.
Looks like the US is looking to pull out of its end of the deal. That's fair enough, being the world's policeman is sure a heavy burden to carry. I just don't see many people recognizing the implications for the US economy.
Which is a double "rip-off," as the IBM Thinkpad goes back a lot farther and it was intentionally made black-with-red-accents to pay homage to Nikon while having the form factor of a bento box.
As an American, every car I've ever owned was statistically included with an automatic transmission. Strangely, none of the cars I've owned have had an automatic transmission.
Subaru was making CVT automatic cars back then that were even worse than the awful CVT cars of today. That would be my pick if I wanted to do a 30-year-old self driving car.
In Europe, statistically nearly every car older than 10 years is manual. With the recent improvements in automatics they are finally catching on in Europe.
You may be able to find an old automatic or CVT car in Europe, but you would need to look for a while
Volvo made automatic versions of its cars from the late sixties onwards. A colleague had an automatic 244 in the early 1980s.
Here in Norway automatics are not finally catching on, they are ubiquitous and the driving instructors' association is campaigning to get the rules changed so that you can pass the driving test on an automatic and later simply do a conversion course to allow one to drive manual.
And of course it will all be moot quite soon because EV sales already outnumber ICE sales nearly nine to one here. Volkswagen and Hyundai no longer sell ICE cars in Norway. Volkswagen still sells ICE vans and pickups though.
That's because Europeans prefer small cars, in which automatics really sucked until maybe 15-20 years ago. They were inefficient and heavy, and the engines in those cars didn't have a ton of excess power.

Imagine, walking into your office on a Monday morning, and your boss wants to reinvent everything after having gotten drunk and dipped into a hot tub with the HR people.
It is. Oh, and also, Go managed to screw up even the assembly, inventing portable but actually not dialect that uses ugly bits of AT&T syntax, custom operator precedence and in practice is non-portable, forcing you to mix Go-only mnemonics (which might even collide with opcode names on certain platforms), supported opcodes of target platform, and BYTE literals for opcodes it doesn't support, making a lot of your preliminary (N)ASM knowledge useless. Isn't that magnificent?
Gee, I wonder if there's a better way to do so that is not such a lazy job. But doing it properly, like .NET does, is supposedly too much effort!
So you are saying it's even worse than suing anyone over using the language like a certain Java-related company or laying off people off the core language team like a certain Dart-related company?
I think Go is unique in this list in that the only other language that fills the same niche is Java, and Google can't afford to let the licensing whims of Oracle decide its fate.
That said, I'm actively rooting for the demise of some of the others.
Another option is C#, it keeps getting active development, is the closest[0] in performance to pure unmanaged tier of languages and has tooling similar to Rust's cargo, isn't being abandoned any time soon (it's a core dependency of msft and seems to be increasing in amounts of promotion (finally!)), and has other industry players also working on it (like Unity).
Golang is popular enough that development would continue even without Google. Could be a fork with a different name if needed, but it's not going anywhere.
I imagine it stops some non-targeted attempts that simply probe the entire v4 range, which is not feasible with v6. But yeah, not really buying you much, especially if there is any publicly listed service on that IP.
