      I’m not saying in good with this, but the US has military bases everywhere.

        I’m asking about the other way around. How many non-US bases are in the US already?

        Simply put, if a person is voting specifically with the interests of the united states and not other countries in mind, those are arguably beneficial to us, whether or not they’ve caused issues for other countries (they have), just as this is not beneficial and indeed possibly actively harmful to the states

      Fuck no. We have had them come here on a routine basis. Worked with multiple nations that we host, but never gave them their own facility. This shit is treason.
