According to some on this thread who I had this discussion with yesterday, the US just finds some empty lots in countries like Israel and “pre-positions” its military hardware on those lots.
The military hardware is not actually in anyone’s custody [like, say the Israeli military in this example] - it just lies around on the empty lots for whenever we show up and need it.
Nobody will mess with it, so we don’t need it guarded or locked up, or anything like that.
After all - it’s OURS. ;-)
**heavy sarcasm alert**
Empty lots-—LOL!!!!!!
I’m literally at my desk laughing.
