On the more serious side...while many people in the United States believe that the bases are kept as a kind of socialist boon to Europe, the reality is that the US naval fleet and its Air Force rely on having these bases for re-fueling and re-staffing their surveillance and defensive forces occupied with protecting US interests. This also goes for the Middle East.
I imagine that while Canadians have certainly cancelled most of their bookings like we and our friends have...the Europeans are likely on line or on the phone today cancelling theirs.
....The US likely realizes that its real interests are about oil.
