Why would the US not destroy the base before they leave instead of turning it over to the Russians?
US Military appropriations.
When we left Spain, the US was building new infrastructure for the simple reason the money had long been allocated.
One would think the US would just cancel the projects in advance, but nope, they still build them and simply turn over the keys when they leave.

During the full BRAC, construction projects continued on bases that we knew were closing because they were programmed in the system...
I support having a strong military but you could cut half of DOD funding today and I don't believe it would truly affect readiness...
