Dozens of countries host US military bases. While currently unlikely, the individual host nations could absolutely forcefully overtake or otherwise expel the bases within their borders while the US flounders about in Iran.
The US has just shown it can’t protect it’s bases, and their presence only invites more conflict.
True and that would deal with a lot of infantry and logistical folks, but spin up a fist of retribution that would literally turn cities to rubble and fuck up naval traffic forever
That’s a Lancer in the article, the B1 was first flown in 1986 and is still fully capable of dropping literal tons of explosives anywhere on the globe within hours. We’re still using Cold War tech that works but think about how much DARPA have built since then…the only thing that can kill the US military is the US military, there’s just gonna be a lot of collateral damage
These bombers can only fly when the target nation has depleted air defence. Take Iran for example, the only reason the US government was able to drop bombs at Isfahan, Natanz and Fordow in June, 2025 was because the Israelis has damaged the Iranian air defence network. If those systems were still intact, those bombers would become a very expensive firework display, even more colorful than the ones we see during festivals.
All I am saying is every nation has a right to defend themselves, and if you can not, you will be bombed to smithereens. The winners get to tell the rest of the world your story…like Japan and Germany.
