    It is more then just having a base. They often run the whole country. I simply tried to find a single list for all of it, but if you look into these cases, one by one, you can see what I mean. Take French troops in Africa, they are collonizers that never left and their government can’t kick them out. Take NATO troops in Kosovo, they are completley dependent on US support to exist. Or Israel as well. Or many other places in Middle East. These are not volontery military presence in these locations, they are invasions which people can’t get rid of, either under threat of antoher force taking over or because they just wont leave.

      You’re doing it again and at this point it feels intentional. You’re taking five different things that are unrelated and mixing them but throwing enough vague terms hoping that something will stick:

      • French troops in Africa
      • Nato in Kosovo
      • Or Israel (whatever that means)
      • Or many other places in middle east (whatever that means)

      This is a gish gallop

          Again with the buzzwords “western imperialism pattern”. You have nothing of substance to say. It’s like a bingo card of poli-sci 101 buzzwords

            It’s not a buzzword just because you want to keep it a secret.
