Do the over seas countries have military bases here in the USA? No and why not? Because we would see it for what it was and that is a infringement on our sovereignty.

All of this meddling has happened since ww2 and the creation of the CIA. I can see why JFK wanted to splinter it into 1000 pieces and how Truman regrets ever oking the CIA for what it had become over 50 years ago.

Do the over seas countries have military bases here in the USA?

No, but if one of those countries had invested billions of dollars and thousands of lives defending our country, I suspect they'd leave something behind to protect their investment. Just not forever, as we seem to be doing.
