Most of those countries are not allies of the U.S. And some of the alliances in question have outlived their usefulness anyway. Does anyone really think Spain needs NATO to protect it from Russia anymore? I can't see why Russia would even bother with such a dysfunctional mess.

You look at the U.S. today, and we have all the characteristics of a colonial power. We haven't fought a war to defend ourselves in more than 150 years. We have a larger military infrastructure than the rest of the world combined, and we project military force all over the planet to promote our interests far beyond our national borders. We'll prop up corrupt dictators and radical Islamic regimes if we see fit, and then con our own citizens to support a stupid "War on Terror" to "promote freedom and democracy" in Third World sh!t-holes all over the place.

P.S. We haven't "left" Saudi Arabia. That's why the country is on the list.

You’re still wrong. You still can’t name a single colony. You can keep embarrassing yourself by confusing allies with colonies but in the end you’re just not getting any where.
