The U.S. has 750 military bases around the world

The United States reached a deal with the Philippines this month to build four more military bases there, in addition to the five bases already located in the former U.S. colony. In total, the U.S. has about 750 overseas military bases around the world — more than any other country.

In recent years, the Pentagon has been building up its presence in the Asia-Pacific region to encircle China and counter its influence.

Anthropologist David Vine, author of "Base Nation," says the global U.S. military footprint makes a military conflict with China more likely in the coming years, reflecting a foreign policy that has been "hijacked by the military-industrial complex."

750 military bases... that we know of.

These bases are there to serve their corporate business needs, except they are sustained at the expense of country development. Since both your political parties are backed by the corporates. It doesn't matter who you vote for as the outcome will be the same.

A country with only 200 plus years of history yet went to war 400+ times. That speaks volumes about who is the real threat to the world.

8:750. This needs to be corrected so that there will be less bases. What about 0?

Only one in Djibouti. The rest are within Chinese waters.
China is not a threat to it's neighbours.

750 military base 🤯
Wow. This is why they spend less than a Trillion dollar military budget

[jacquelinedaley]

Thank you for the rational information

[rayvaughn]

what a missleading statement have 34 million

[tonyahunt]

I totally disagree with everything this man is stating!

[tiffanyyisrael]

And all of those military bases won't mean a thing once the Most High gets his hands on his enemies. Vengeance is his, he will repay. What do they need all of those military bases for? 🤔What are they afraid of?

[Selena-plays-ck]

Yes its true china is not atreat to america but its a treat to asian country thats why amrica trying to negotiate for us military bases in asian country.

[Pmz]

Doesnt matter what this man says..the american people will never stop drinking their kool aid

[paulaoyedele]

So you are more worried about Russia than China. Wow.
How many Russian military bases are there internationally?

[edwardroche]

we need those faces to protect our corporations interest in other countries and their resources, because we'll never have enough of Our Own

[BrigittePatrice]

What happens is America becomes FASCIST.

[gabenawrocki]

Well someone has to be the world police, and I would prefer that to be the United States over anyone else

[TheFriendu]

Thank you for sane people like you.
China & many other countries who wants to live in peace & prosperity.

Whereas its a proven fact that US wants war for self benefiting purposes.

Those who are weak & corrupted by US prowar ideologies, may they experience the consequences of their foolish choice first hand.

[jonraybon]

Being the world police is a thankless job, but someone has to do it. The old lion did it for 150 years, but I don’t think they are quite up to the task anymore.

[reginaldgarner]

@DemocracyNow, your outline sounds reasonably "woke" to me.

[philipcormier]

All 750 can be hit with super hyper Sonic undetectable nuclear warheads 😂 the bases don't mean anything at all except total destruction for that Nation with a military base on it! 😲 The amount of bases don't mean a hill of beans 😲 the super hypersonic missiles will wipe out every one of these bases in a few hours time 😂😂
