GTF out of all unfriendly countries.
Why we borrowing more money to keep military there?
Iraq is never going to be a democracy.
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.
