and I know they don't pay NEARLY enough
RAF Akrotiri is of MASSIVE strategic importance
An airbase you can use...
Because of your ally.
The UK.
I don't mean to say that I like Russian presence in Syria, but I really can't blame them for it
@Nathan James 123
I didn't mention the UK. They are one of the rare cases of a European nation that carries their weight.
They're an ally
LOL
France with its colonial relationships @Jym
UK isn't very European though
@Jym When there is an African Boogaloo that needs to go down and you want it quiet you call the French
They have more influence in Africa than you do.
He didnt say all allies, he said "these allies"
UK isn't like the continentals
Tbh I'm curious to see what would happen if America just btfo'd and let russia/china do whatever it wants. China will be worse "colonizers" and genocide the terrorists when the terrorists focus on their new overlords. Unless China/Russia is able to buy off the politicians to curb the terrorists
are you fuckers able to read?
"these "allies" are in any way useful."
In reference to NATO.
@Nathan James 123 NATO needs to evolve to be more useful and efficent
There's probably 800 combat aircraft in Europe, which you don't need to deploy there..
also the middle east has been a shitshow for thousands of years
Not true @W1NT3R1SC0MING
@Nathan James 123 but their overall a net gain for the US
saying america fucked it all up is an asinine idea
Agreed @Sawyer42
You can't rely all that much on international treaties anyway.
It's always been 50/50
lol theyve all been at each others throats since the fall of the abassid caliphate
No, Britain fucked it up. Then you took over. @W1NT3R1SC0MING
its been near constant conflict
@Nathan James 123
Most of NATO is useless. Deadweight is the rule I have no issues with those rare exceptions.
imagine thinking it wasnt fucked up before the brits lol
Medeteranian bases thanks to Italy?
<:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>
how is that useless
The French and Italian navies?
Won't they be too busy inheriting the middle eastern muslims' terror?
If the govt in power doesn't want to honer the NATO agreement, they'll just commit as little as they can to keep the pretence...
