Any American base we would leave would be enthusiastically retaken by our traditional adversaries : China or Russia. We are being replaced by Russia and China in Africa for example and that is an economic boost for them.
It’s interesting to see that while we in America seem to have some qualms having American bases spread out internationally for our security, there are apparently zero qualms for Russia and China to replace us there.
Russia and China are fighting like hell to expand their influence, constructing bases all over the planet. Heck, China is even illegally building military artificial islands in international waters!
Some Americans want to run away from everything, weakening our own future security and strengthening our adversaries in the process, we are following the hippie “values” from the 70’s. Defeatism is taking over our minds. Sad.
“ We are being replaced by Russia and China in Africa for example and that is an economic boost for them.”
They want Africa? Sounds like a plan!
If we had more brains than a dog, we would get out own house in order before worrying about Russia and China. Our national debt has broken all world records. Our fiscal year interest will soon be the largest budget item.
Only idiots will spend BORROWED money on foreign wars and foreign military bases. Neocons are the most disgusting people in USA.
You know why China is flexing muscles all over the world? Because they focused on biggest wealth creator, Manufacturing. We had gigantic trade deficits with China for decades. But yet, neocons want to keep spending money we don’t have? How stupid is that?
