    I see it as an aggressor nation keeping its weapons on-site to threaten the locals in the name of defending them. I want them gone.

    It brings me great shame seeing UK airbases being used to load US bombs into US bombers to drop on brown people that have never hurt me.

    Ya’ll a bunch of dumbfucks that voted for the maximum ratfuckery and we have to just deal with your dumb shit for 4 years at a time. I don’t think we should be allowing the use of these facilities until such a time as the US institutions have cleaned house.

      Please get your leaders to force US bases out. If you actually want to do something that’s in your own power, that’s it.

        I bet the old you expected the 2A people to like… go defend their nation too.

        I’m so sorry that we’re living through our reality, I’d rather be reading about it after its over.

    Your question makes no sense.

    No, you’re not viewed as terrorists. You’re viewed as allies that will get dragged into a war on our side if we get attacked by Russia.

        Trump clearly threatened not to come to aid of NATO countries that don’t spend the agreed % of GDP. If he did not intend to come to aid of any NATO country he would leave the alliance.

          If it isn’t a 100% guaranteed non-negotiable that they WILL aid their global partners, that it might be conditional, means that it cannot be assumed to be there, and is no longer dependable. It’d just be an ally piling in at best, if we’re lucky and the current goomba-in-chief is a friendly one.

          Its an absolute loss of soft power.

    The bases and American soldiers are pretty much hated in Spain. We didn’t even want to be in NATO in the first place, and US international policy is deeply unpopular here.

    I really hope this whole situation causes us to finally kick them out. The US is not an ally, wasn’t one ever either (except during the dictatorship of Franco, not a popular time), and we should stop dancing to its warmongering music

    All I know is that the US building a secret submarine base at Pine Gap in Alice Springs was a genius move.
