Only six nations in the world have military bases in other countries.

Russia has 12.

The UK has six.

France has six.

Turkey has one.

India has one.

And, of course, the sixth is the United States. It has *700* (or more)
military bases in other nations.

It's a colossal waste of every sort of resource.

How many cities in this country have cops? Would you rather the Chinese have all the bases in other
countries?

I loved this paragraph:

"Twenty years later, US strategists, in an attempt to justify their military interventions in
different parts of the World, have conceptualized the greatest fraud in US history, namely “the
Global War on Terrorism” (GWOT). The latter, using a fabricated pretext constitutes a global war
against all those who oppose US hegemony. A modern form of slavery, instrumented through
militarization and the “free market” has unfolded."

Also liked this line:

"The main sources of information on these military installations (e.g. C. Johnson, the NATO Watch
Committee, **the International Network for the Abolition of Foreign Military Bases**) reveal that
the US operates and/or controls between 700 and 800 military bases Worldwide." (emphasis added)

This is also good:

"The Earth surface is being conceived as a wide battlefield which can be patrolled or steadfastly
supervised from the Bases."

Here's one for reflection:

"There are 6000 military bases and/ or military warehouses located in the U.S. (See Wikipedia,
February 2007)."

I wonder how many of the '700' are military warehouses?
