Marco Rubio, about the European US bases:
“I said publicly, and I’ve said repeatedly, I’ve been a strong supporter of Nato throughout my career in the Senate and even now, and one of the advantages of being in Nato is that it allows us to have forces deployed in Europe and bases that allow us a logistical ability to project power in case of contingencies.
We had a contingency and some countries in Europe, some countries in Europe like Spain as an example, denied us the use of those bases for a very important contingency that in some ways, the denial of those bases actually impeded the mission, not severely but had a cost and in fact, even created some unnecessary dangers.
If one of the main reasons why the US is in Nato is the ability to have forces deployed in Europe that we could project to other contingencies, and now that’s no longer the case, at least when it comes to some Nato members, that’s a problem and has to be examined.”
Ok my dude. My bother in Satan. My fellow human being (allegedly). You are so close to see it but somehow still say this horse shit.
Spain gains between very little to nothing at all by having US bases in our territory. Sure, I'm sure countries in other parts of Europe may think different, but for southern Europe, US bases are A CONCESSION we make towards an (allegedly) ally. Because as lil Marco says himself, without the European bases, US wouldn't be able to project force in most of Africa or the middle east, so it wouldn't be a global power anymore.
Those bases are a fucking gift for the US. One that is a key piece of the US hegemony. So you are fucking welcome to pack up and fly your shit back to your side of the Atlantic. Leave the key under the mat when you go.
This whole act of "we are leaving because you don't go whatever we want" may do something with the Germans (I don't know). But with Spain? No one could give less of a fuck.
