I really don’t want US army bases on UK soil, especially when they might be used to empire build rather than in defence. But am sure the US must pay the UK government for having bases here and so here we are.
The US has bought the grace and favour of many countries and now it must be hard for governments to say no.

The US has a significant presence here anyway?

Scaremongering?

Iran?

Possibly. Certainly not Ukraine! Trump is leaving that to Putin.

According to the Times, “ At least 14 Globemasters and two Ghostriders have landed at RAF bases since Saturday as the US builds its military might in Britain after Maduro’s capture”

I know the USA have airbases everywhere, including Greenland, but why?

Are they benefitting those countries in which they are situated or just benefiting the USA?

I’m aware that the UK also has bases still in other countries, but to the best of my knowledge not USA or Canada.

Is it time to revisit whether USA troops are welcome in our Country?
