During the cold war our bases in Europe were there to stop the Soviets. Today our bases in Europe exist to allow us to project force in the Middle East and Africa. We would not be able to fight in Iran if we had no bases in Europe. Our wounded in the Middle East are taken to Germany. Our planes bombing Iran take off from Britain. Bases in Eastern Europe have been used for refueling and radar operations.
Close all those bases and we will at best become a regional power. If we become a regional power China will become the only global power. China already has bases in Africa, Asia and close collaboration with countries in the Americas.

I agree with James Woods. All money to foreign countries and groups should be ended and the UN limited to $1 per year. We have enough debt of our own.
