This is pretty standard for America, nothing new.

If this is a list of atrocities, I am already somewhat underwhelmed. Almost all of those bases are present with the consent of the host country, except for Gitmo. Besides Gitmo, the US always leaves when requested in the cases I have been able to find.

(Why do we still have a base in Gitmo? Because Florida is a swing state. It sucks.)

To be fair, the rest of the list looks like an excellent argument for closing all the bases.

I'm surprised Github let something like this to stay up.
