Would you not feel threatened if you were Russia? Map of US military bases:
Imagine if China or Russia did that, and then started bombing random countries.
On mobile, apologies if it's not the best image
those sneaky american put a military base even in moscow and beijing without anyone noticing! but alas the operative costs led them to demolish all the bases in their own homeland!
Bro have you even taken a look at that fucking map ... there's one dot in moscow of all places, the other one in beijing. That's a map of embassies you fucking tankie moron.
Lol yeah can you imagine?
What if Russia had military bases in other countries like Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Ukraine, Central African Republic, Egypt, Eritrea, Madagascar, Mozambique or Sudan?
Imagine if they had bombing campaigns in random countries like Syria, Georgia, Libya, Central African Republic or Mali.
Also imagine what would happen if the US would bomb one of their own cities like Minneapolis or Tulsa Oklahoma so thoroughly that it would become known as one of the most destroyed cities in modern warfare
Don't get me wrong, the US is an imperialistic power hungry repressive country which imposes its will on plenty of smaller countries, but let's not pretend that Russia is better in any way, shape or form, they're just not as successful in exacting power outside of their sphere of influence.
Edit: lol someone pointed out correctly that this map is just a map of US embassies, holy fuck tankies are idiots
Obviously none of that would ever happen because Russia isn't a western imperialist power
That looks like a map of us embassies, not military bases.
Nah, the US has military bases in Moscow and Beijing, that's how powerful they are
LMAOOO
I JUST REALIZED HOW FUCKING DUMB THIS IS!
remember when the russians made a huge fuss about "US-Soldiers in Ukraine" because US Soldiers protect the US-embassies around the world?
This is that! This is so fucking disingenious!
Yeah, imagine if Russia started invading all its neighbors. What a wild hypothetical.
Hey ivan, tell your buddies to stop smoking near ammo depots and oil refineries.
To be fair, Swiss never gave up on general conscription, got strong army and will forever remain somewhat weary of all of their neighbours, neighbours who have all blobbed out at least once before in history, except Liechtenstein :')
Wary of their neighbours. When Switzerland gets weary of their neighbours, those neighbours need to start worrying
Think this one through better next time, or validate your sources lmao
You really Did Your Own Research on this one, huh?
Not really OP's point but the map of countries with US military installations is still impressive, as can be seen here:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_American_military_installations
OP is not as wrong as the replies suggest.
OP is getting mocked for posting a map claiming that there are US military bases in Beijing and Moscow, not because anyone thinks there aren't a lot of US bases around the world
