I think that's kind of the point. The Trump admin takes a very isolationist view of things, so I don't think they even want all those international bases.

- _DeadFred_ 2y agoIt's not the point for the MAGA types. They want the power AND deference of the good old days, not actual feeble pullback and irrelevance. They think Europe paying it's share means Europe will pay for OUR military presence. Add on their kids no longer having access to military jobs/path to education and those communities will start to freak out. Trump wants to project power in the middle east. That's current done out of European bases.
- warrenmiller 2y agotell that to Greenland.
- victorbjorklund 2y agohe doesnt care about the military bases. he just want the resources. National security is just an excuse.
- dboreham 2y agoThat's about two orders of magnitude more thinking than they're actually doing.
