The USA has 700 military bases world wide. Russia, China, India have 15 bases. Who's spreading their tentacles around the world? Iraq invasion? Syria ongoing occupation? WMDs? Assisting Israel's War in Gaza? Come on. Please stop this Western bias nonsense. And the Ukraine Conflict didnt start in Feb 2022.

  WMDs was referring to the lies USA told to invade Iraq.

  Russia is in Syria at request of Syrian regime. USA still occupies the oil fields in Syria. Not at all comparable in intent is itm Crimea is Russian. The people who live there are Russian and were glad to be part of Russia. Surely you know the history of Ukraine? Do you know why Zhelensky was elected leader of Ukraine in the first place and what happened afterward?

    The Crimea is multiethnic. It belongs to all of its pre-war citizens equally. Its sovereignty is Ukrainian.

The USA has 700 military bases world wide 128 actually. The 700-1000 numbers are disinformation, but people like to copy-paste them around endlessly, anyway.

  That's 127 too many.

    All countries' bases are infinitely too many, everywhere. But if one prefers to carry on with an image, or a number in their mind that differs greatly from the physical reality on the ground -- that's their own lookout.
