    You know, this is funny.

    But it is even funnier to think of a German shedding tears at the US voluntarily closing down a local military base.

    The Vietnamese and Afghanis sacrificed hundreds of thousands of lives for the same effect.

    Imagine how mad everyone in Japan, Korea, Indonesia, and The Philippines are right now.

      I don’t think they are going to close the bases. That would be a huge loss for Russia.

        Trump’s been a big proponent of bringing imperialism back to the core for some time.

        I think he might see closing these bases as an opportunity to bring home troops he can use to invade Mexico or Greenland or Cuba
