“Why not say RUSSIA WILL NOT BE ALLOWED any BASES IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE”
Because,,,, they might evict us from the airbases they let us use for free, for our big logistics effort to supply our forces in Afghanistan?
Your comment, with a “?” about the Russians not allowing us to use Russian bases to hit Afghanistan, is perhaps a past tense. We tossed Afghanistan back to the Taliban based on the Democrat's war on Afghan women. Accordingly, we should not pull out militarily, just ground troops, but INCREASE drone strikes as and where needed. The military is capable of projecting force any where from a lot fewer bases, at least Russian ones. Sic any use of any Russian bases to destroy the Afghan Taliban would be moot & the Russians want revenge for their axx kicking in Afghanistan.
That said, “F*$%m and either way that we see it,pursue the Monroe Doctrine. NO RUSSIAN BASES IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE
