How many NATO countries have a US military base in them?
How many NATO countries have a military base in the US?
The reason no other countries have military bases in the US is that:
The US is far away from all the threats, and
The US doesn't need anyone else's help
The reason the US has military bases in other countries is that:
These countries are in close proximity to neighbors who act in a threatening, belligerent manner, and
These countries want the US taxpayer to subsidize their defense.
Ah yes, the UK and Spain are famous for their proximity to threats to Democracy. This is some serious liberal delusion.
I'm one of the most anti-lib people in this sub or on this earth.
The UK and Spain joined NATO because they knew if the USSR was able to smash through the fulda gap and conquer western europe, they would be next.
Also the US has almost no presence in Spain, for the obvious reason that Spain isn't "close to the action" as you point out.
Naval Station Rota is SPANISH naval base under SPANISH command in which the Americans are invited guests. It's obviously there as a strategic naval base because of its proximity to Gibraltar. Rota and the nearby Morón Air Base, are Spanish bases that Spain allows the US to use for logistics purposes, as the bases are used for refueling on the way to and from the Middle East.
So those people that you think lie about everything with regards to the way domestic politics works are completely honest about the way foreign politics works? Fascinating.
It's funny how you acknowledge that those bases are operated in support of the empire, but then deny the territory is part of the empire. The liberal delusion gets worse.
Spez: Next you're going to tell me the Delian League was just a voluntary association of Athens's good friends.
