I apologize for posting again so quickly but uhh… Qatar to build the first foreign air force facility in the US - Idaho will apparently host a foreign military base now.

Oh, big agree on that second half. I think, realistically, the US should offer to pull bases out of wherever they’re asked to- Especially after this current regime.
Or just offer to sell the shit to the local governments on our way out. Either way, no more Imperialist bases would be dope.
I mean living right next to Russia I like having American soldiers in our bases because if Russians decide to bomb a base, the US has a reason to help us (beyond the obvious NATO article 5).
But I can very much see how not every country may want or need American bases.
This is kind of my line of thinking with the ‘if they want us there’- I have no issues lending consensual protection to ally nations at all, but it’s very clear many of the world’s nations want us to back off.
I’m of the opinion it’s probably time to do so. Maybe turn our attention inward and start looking at making some amends with the Reservations or something, who knows.
I imagine there’s a lot you could do with the excessive money being spent on the military, but to be fair, I’m pretty sure any politician who’s gonna propose greatly reducing military spending is going to get assassinated.
I’m not a politician, but I’ll keep running my mouth about it. If they gotta pop me for calling them losers thats on them.
Ah I suspect you’ll be safe on that account. I meant more like if a senior house representative starts kicking up too much of a fuss or something lol
