Do you have numbers? I might think the US still has the biggest deployments in Europe (UK, Spain/Italy, Ramstein/Landstuhl in Germany) and the Middle East vs Gu

  Only 64k American soldiers are deployed in Europe. 131k are deployed in the Pacific (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_military_deployments https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_military_deplo...), but should be 150k once you include the Alaskan deployments which are relatively close to China and Murmansk The bitter truth is any Russian aggression will be fought back by German, Turkish, Polish, Ukrainian, French, etc bodies. We don't have a similar buffer with China beyond the inner ring, as our treaty allies (Japan+SK) will have their hands full with NK. The only time the US was invaded by a foreign army in the 20th century was the Japanese invasion of Alaska along with the invasion of (then) American Phillipines

    Thanks! "The bitter truth is any Russian aggression will be fought back by German, Turkish, Polish, Ukrainian, French, etc bodies." As a European, I think this is a good thing, not relying on the US.
