Title: Opinion about American bases in foreign countries?
Post by: White Israelite on December 23, 2011, 12:33:01 AM: How do you feel about American bases in foreign countries? People have different reasons for them, many countries don't want them because they feel it violates their sovereignty and others claim it is expensive. Others state it is for national security, how do you feel about this?

I agree, I think originally the concept of the bases was for strategy purposes during the cold war, but i think some of them were put in place to neutralize the countries from ever forming alliances with our enemies. Not sure I agree with the American bases internationally but I can understand their use, but it seems like most countries don't really want us there to begin with, I'm curious what everyones feelings are about it.

I agree with bases in Japan/South Korea more than most because there is an imminent threat there that needs to be contained but otherwise we would be better served by establishing a missile-defense system and renewing the nuclear deterrent.
