Should US Forces return/expand in Europe?

The Russian threat really never disappeared it just hibernated. Russia is governed by a hard line old time Kremlin Crony with ties that lead back to the old KGB. Having said that Putin is puffing his chest after 10 or so years of economic prosperity and stability. Now the economics of Russia have begun to crumble and after loosing its buffer between mother Russia and the West it has to regain its ground and showcase itself as a true threat to the democratic world. I have posted before there are 3 real threats to the US both physically and fiscally the Russians, Chinese and Terrorism from South East Asia. We have to project our forces strengthen NATO to be prepared to fight an awaken Russian Bear after a long and painful hibernation.

I was stationed there twice for a total of six years. Unfortunately, most was spent in Graf or rotating through Bosnia. I do think they were a little short sighted in removing so many troops. I don't think it needs to be cold war levels, but definitely more than we have now.

Not to re-ring a bell, but how will this be paid for?
