    I find these statements that are pretty difficult to swallow and i’d call some of it very conspiratorial.

    What right does the US have, to have 800+ military bases outside its borders?

      Nuance is a b1tch. You have to differentiate current and historical military action. Not all US bases exists for the same reason and exists from different deals of security and so on.

      Also, why is it a problem with the military bases there? It’s a shame that these places has military power right? Seems like that is what you categorically want. I’ll probably make sure not to get into a rabbithole about Hong Kong and Taiwan either.

      But I know you guys for a bit now, so i’m not suprised. Can’t help taking the piss at ya’ll too. But I do get so stirred by all the stuff, which is motly my fault.
