So I guess we have three options:
- The Congressional Research Service lied two years ago about the number of foreign military bases as 128.
- The US in 1.5 years sextupled its number of foreign military bases.
- World Beyond War's criteria of "any installation, facility, or site located outside the operating country that is financed, operated, leased, rented, or temporarily accessed by that country" to define a "foreign military base" is majorly misleading when taken out of context for a shitty meme.
Wonder which it is.
(Actual argument done, I can insult you without it being ad hom: fuck off, tankie. I disagree with ancoms sometimes on pragmatics, but their ethics are sound; not yours.)
