Being thankful for the US “subsidizing” military defense and foreign bases? Sure, you definitely build bases in other sovereign countries out of the goodness of your hearts and not for your own tactical and espionage interests. No European would shed a tear if every US troop fucked off tomorrow

It is absolutely not, but I understand it’s easy to lose sense of scale when you go into billions territory.

which I would have never learned to do.
