We spend money there........lol...........the Troops.....Sailors...........etc............Not the base itself........lol

So, by you;re own roundabout way Eagle, our ME presence is self serving
It's about a $$, about debt, about the petro$$, take your pick
that fits 'merc' as much as any other definition
and you know what? i'm fine with that level of honesty
This makes viewing our SK presence (or potential lack of it) a whole lot easier

Our cars run on oil. Of course you libs would love it if we were forced to ride bicycles everywhere.

This is Trump doing what he said he was going to do. It's about time we stopped supporting/protecting parts of the world on our dime.


Trump hikes prices tag for US forces in Korea almost 400% as Seoul fumes, frets - CNNPolitics

He should have told them 600%, they he could have backed down to only 400% and offered it as a special cut-rate bargain just for them. Better still, then the Dims could accuse Trump of "folding!" A win for everyone!
