If you're just learning about this, some of the other questions you might ask yourself next are: - Why the fuck is there even a US military base in Aruba? - Why the fuck are there even 4 US military bases in Australia? - Why the fuck is there even a US military base in the Bahamas? - Why the fuck are there even 2 US military bases in Bahrain? - Why the fuck are there even 3 US military bases in Belgium? - Why the fuck are there even 2 US military bases in Bulgaria? - Why the fuck is there even a US military base in Chagos archipelago apparently aka "British Indian Territory"? - Why the fuck is there even a US military base in Cuba? (this is of course Guantanamo bay, which is just straight up an illegal occupation of a foreign country to host a US torture prison) - Why the fuck are there even 2 US military bases in Djibouti? - Why the fuck is there even a US military base in Egypt? - Why the fuck is there even a US military base in Estonia? - Why the fuck are there even 3 US military bases in Greece? - Why the fuck is there even a US military base in Greenland? - Why the fuck are there even 6 US military bases in Germany? - Why the fuck is there even a US military base in St. Helena? - Why the fuck is there even a US military base in Honduras? - Why the fuck are there even 2 US military bases in Hungary? - Why the fuck is there even a US military base in Iceland? - Why the fuck are there even 2 US military bases in Iraq? (when the Iraqi government keeps demanding that the US leave the country) - Why the fuck are there even 7 US military bases in Italy? - Why the fuck are there even 8 US military bases in Japan, if you exclude the several bases on Okinawa? It's 13 including the ones on Okinawa. - Why the fuck is there even a US military base in Jordan? - Why the fuck are there even 2 US military bases in Kenya? - Why the fuck is there even a US military base in Kosovo? - Why the fuck are there even 5 US military bases in Kuwait? - Why the fuck is there even a US military base in Latvia? - Why the fuck are there even 2 US military bases in Lithuania? - Why the fuck is there even a US military base in the Marshall Islands? - Why the fuck is there even a US military base in Norway? - Why the fuck is there even a US military base in Oman? - Why the fuck are there even 9 US military bases in the Philippines? - Why the fuck are there even 5 US military bases in Papua New Guinea? - Why the fuck are there even 5 US military bases in Poland? - Why the fuck is there even a US military base in Portugal? - Why the fuck is there even a US military base in Qatar? - Why the fuck are there even 3 US military bases in Romania? - Why the fuck are there even 2 US military bases in Saudi Arabia? - Why the fuck is there even a US military base in Singapore? - Why the fuck is there even a US military base in El Salvador? - Why the fuck are there even 2 US military bases in Somalia? - Why the fuck are there even 8 US military bases in South Korea? - Why the fuck are there even 2 US military bases in Spain? - Why the fuck are there even 2 US military bases in Syria? - Why the fuck are there even 2 US military bases in Turkiye? - Why the fuck are there even 2 US military bases in the United Arab Emirates? - Why the fuck are there even 5 US military bases in the United Kingdom? Note: This list (that i got from this website cause their data was pretty recent and they had it in a handy list form) does not even seem to include things like the military airbase in the Netherlands where the americans keep nuclear bombers, or shannon airfield in ireland that the americans get to use freely for their genocide in Palestine, and used for their wars in afghanistan and iraq, so this list seems to be very far from complete.

[kropotkindersurprise]

The site i used above does seem to try to make the US military presence across the world seem a little more palatable and benign than it really is, and only counts major bases as a single base while many other sources would count them as several american military installations because theyre spread around a region.

They also seem to exclude smaller bases, and smaller concentrations of US troops. However, if there were like 50 US troops stationed next door from you you'd probably be tempted to say you live next to a US military base, so that doesnt seem right. So [this list by Al Jazeera], while a bit older, is probably a much more accurate count:

[captain-johanssons-wooden-ear]

Well rhe Japanese bases are a remnant of the post-WWII US occupation of Japan, same as most in Asia AFAIK. The one in Cuba is being rented by the US from the cuban government and isnt illegally occupied (at least: thats what I was taught, feel free to correct me if i am mistaken)

[kropotkindersurprise]

I'm not being rude, but have you thought through what you just typed? You are typing this and going "correct me if im mistaken" but you dont seem to have actually applied any kind of critical thinking to the propaganda you've been taught, and are repeating. "Well the Japanese bases are a remnant of the post-WWII US occupation of Japan, same as most in Asia AFAIK." what does this mean? why would this make those bases acceptable? why do they need foreign military bases on their soil if that war has been over for 80 years? why does this history matter if Okinawans dont want you there now? As for Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, it is true that the USA pays rent. It pays this rent into an account that has never been touched by the Cuban government, because they explicitly DO NOT consent to the US-american military presence on their island. They want the USA out of Guantanamo Bay. It is most definitely an illegal occupation, that exists so the USA can warehouse and torture people close to the continental USA (and as a convenient naval base).

Trump's latest rally began with his fans booing a fallen police officer because he has an Arabic-sounding last night, continued with the president debuting his new (fake?) hair, professing that "nobody know 'dumb' doesn't have a B" and wound down with him touting his completely fake "Great Healthcare plan." Here's a supercut.

Moments after bragging about winning Michigan "easily" in 2024, Trump claims that Mike Rogers -- who lost in 2024 on the same ballot Trump was on -- was "rigged out of it"

"I happen to think he won. I think it was a rigged deal. I think they rigged him out of it."
