Honduran President Xiomara Castro has threatened to terminate military cooperation with the United States if President-elect Donald Trump proceeds with his plan for mass deportations of illegal immigrants, including those from Honduras.

[blueyon]

Fine by me if she wants to cut off the USA...a quick google search shows the base is mainly used for...."Now the U.S. military uses Soto Cano as a launching point for humanitarian aid missions throughout Honduras and Central America.".......... so no more aid to them then. Okay

[PGR88]

If the Honduran illegals are such hardworking, honorable and productive citizens, why doesn’t their own country’s President want them back?

[rktman]

Where have we hears that name before. Oh, convertible couches. I knew I recognized that name, castro

[Salman]

It there any reason other than inertia for there to be US bases in Honduras?

I mean at all, period.

[pollywog]

I agree. SO be it!!!!!

[AAABEST]

Awesome.

Hopefully every foreign country follow suit so ALL American troops can finally come home.

Then end ALL foreign aid. All of it.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Amen.

[RoosterRedux]

In 3 days to a week, there will be a news story that Honduras’ president has called Trump and declared he would be please to take back those pesky illegal Honduran immigrants.

[DesertRhino]

She knows that the ones who have tasted life in America who get returned will start asking some pointed questions to their own leaders about why life there sucks so bad.

Honduras is alot closer to us then Ukraine. Invade them.

[DIRTYSECRET]

They’ll have to give us notice and a withdrawal timeline. It would be a good place to dump illegal Chicoms as they will turn to them out of spite.

[DesertRhino]

You nailed it. The base is a leftover from the early mid-80s wars in Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua.

[Getready]

Honduras has had recent wars with Nicaragua and San Salvador. I’m sure they’ll be able to fend for themselves without us.

[DesertRhino]

For the last three years we have flat out given them 785 million in foreign aid.

[Highest Authority]

She wants money, period. We don’t need that base, we have submarines! (And apparently lots and lots of drones).

[Pete Dovgan]

I say close it.

[Mouton]

Yes we have no bananas, we have no bananas today. I hope she cleared her thoughts with US Fruit and the CIA.

Soto Cano is , or used to be a base for DEA interdiction aircraft. When I was there, the DEA aircraft was a sole Cessna Citation. The pilots lived in a mobile home next to the ramp and looked like castaways. The Army company there was like the lost battalion.

Point is, since this base doesn’t do anything to stop the flow of illegals moving north, there really is no pressing reason to maintain a U.S. presence.

The plot thickens.
