    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.
