    I just don’t get how these morons honestly don’t grasp the idea that America’s global “reach” is entirely dependent on having military bases overseas in friendly countries.

    Do they honestly think their influence remains the moment they’re told to get their troops off the fucking continent and every country pulls a Norway and stops refueling their ships?

      I suspect that they honestly think that they can bully the world into allowing us to keep our troops wherever we like. While I’m sure that will work for some weaker-willed countries, I fully believe that the rest will tell us to sit and spin.

    I suspect the wanna-be autocrats in the country where nothing can seemingly get the populace off the couch might be projecting a little bit.

    Gotta love it when a bunch of 4-chan troll man-children are systematically destroying the United States of America.

    Gotta love it even more when you realize a significant portion of the country identifies with 4-chan troll man-children and throws their support behind them.

    Fall of an empire.

      Vance saying that they bombed Yemen to protect European shipping is so ridiculous. They bombed Yemen for Saud, and for Israel.
