Answer 1

Well im going to say that we're headed for ww3 and its not some kind of conspiracy theory. While the sheep are talking about bs on their 9-5 the government has much bigger plans. I know this term is over used but its true theirs this New World Order and their goal is to have ONE world government, one currency, everyone tracked and Identified and have the globe turned into one big AMERICA. Its like a disease and american "culture" is detroying other nations and spreading like and epidemic. The materialistic,eurocentric, addictive drug we call AMERICA is poisoning all whats left of substance in the world. But to many I will sound crazy but its the truth. The norms have been set and we are all being controled. People are like sheep and in todays society their isnt even a sheep dog, we police eachother. Therefore the masses arnt going to see what me and you see till its too late because their afraid of what their coworkers might think if they dissed america.

Bush knocked down the towers!

Prelude - The events leading up to the start of World War Three, including Sept 11, 2001.

Act 1 - The Middle East. Widespread conflict to bring the entire region into the flames of war, possibly triggered by Iran or militants in Pakistan using North Korean supplied nuclear arms. The first Scene in this Act is the US Invasion of Iraq on March 20, 2003.

Act 2 - Israel at War -- Against her Arab neighbors, possibly Palestine. A Palestinian State will be established, so that all Israelis will be fully separated from Palestinians (listen out for mention of a 7-year treaty to be confirmed by a World Leader - probably Bush), only for Israel to viciously attack Palestine shortly thereafter.

Act 3 - Far East -- "Hair-raising nuclear confrontation that threatens mankind's existence" - Peter Lemesurier, author of The Armageddon Script, p. 223, written in 1981. Includes China invading Taiwan and a nuclear eruption on the Korean Peninsula.

Act 4 - Erosion of Confidence in 'The System' so severe citizens will be panicked into giving up liberties and Constitutional form of government. The plan calls for the dissolution of the US Constitution, triggered by a significant enough 'terrorist' attack. The ultimate intent is to introduce a global government and one-world religion.

Act 5 - The collapse of the US, and other Western economies and morals.

Act 6 - Significant population reduction using natural and man-made disasters.

Answer 2

In some nations the US is there for training and whatnot. For example, lots of American troops are stationed in Canada and Britian to recieve special forces training from their generals.. or to simply train in terrains not available in the United States.

Some nations request US troops there. This is more a matter of the ruling elite allowing allies station there to increase their own political power... or to simply provide strategic bases in areas where the army thinks there may be a threat in the future.

Washington and Eisenhower both warned of the dangers of a growing military industrial complex. War is a very profitable business int he United States. Is it any wonder that not a single president has had his entire term in peace? It's all about keeping the status quo. Opening up markets for US consumption, ect. Same system the Europeans had back in the day. The only difference is the US is the new kid on the block. History always repeats itself... oftentimes people are just too naive to realize that.

Answer 3

You might be surprised to know that many nations really like our presence, Britian and Germany both enjoy what our bases do for their economy. Also, the military has a hand to play in most other agencies, such as the CIA, DEA and embasys. Also, it can build good will with other countries that are friendly with us. It is really about our strategic defence. We are by far the worlds largest economy, with the worlds only superpower military, it makes sense that we spill over into other nations. There are also mobility reasons. If we keep a squad of F-16s at Mildenhal RAFB in England that cuts over 2000 miles of travel and logistics if one of our NATO allies is attacked. It also makes it impossible for any foriegn nation to destroy our air force in a single strike, something we learned by having too many Navy ships at Pearl Harbor. Also there are other limitations such as satellites. Since any one satellite can only see 1/3 of the planet we need to have places like Korea and the Azores where we can transfer information to be able to cover the entire world. I don't think any informed and rational foreigner would believe we are out to conquer the world just becuase we have a dozen military representavies in Chile, probably with the embassy. We are simply the biggest country in the world (in terms of economy and power) and as such we have to be more interest and are more involved in a global scale. When Pakistan is hit by a major earthquake, the UN or IMF doesn't go to smaller countries, such as Iceland or Nigeria and ask for military assistance, but it does ask the US.

Answer 4

If I was, and am, an average person....it would put the red flag up for me.

I would be worried if we had bases from other countries here. Who wouldn't?

They are "leasing" our infrastructure out to foreign entities.......is that the new military base?

I do love our way of life and government.....but I can understand those who don't and fear it.

Help is one thing.....establishing a base is another. It does concern me. The US or anybody else has no business telling another country what to do. Real freedom means another country has a right to function differently than we do.

When I hear about the EAU and the NAU and the one with Asia.....it just seems there's going to be an elite war in which none of us are considered. Who's going to be "King of the World"?

Answer 5

The US has military BASES in only 59 nations, so I doubt the basis for your question is sound. And given that Russia takes up so much landmass, and borders so many nations, the odds are we WOULD be "around" Russia.

Your figures MAY come from the count of EMBASSIES we have around the world... each of which has a SMALL Marine detatchment for security. Also most Embassies have a Military Attache'.

I'd like to see any information you have to SUPPORT your statement. Otherwise you're just fear-mongering

Answer 6

United States military presence is an instrument of economic leverage.

One way this works is that we pay for defensive capabilities which the host nations couldn't otherwise afford - e.g. Germany, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, Israel, UAE.

If these countries don't work with us economically, we can always yank our military support.

In some cases, these countries would then collapse from either internal or regional threats.

Answer 7

I seriously doubt the American people would be in favor of attacking Russia, if that's what you're hinting at. Possibly getting ready for N. Korea but the U.S. has always had troops stationed around the world..

Answer 8

The United States is scaling back troops stationed all over the world. Some of those countries ask us to be there.
A soldier stationed overseas will spend and stimulate the local economy.

Answer 9

Troop are in Germany and Japan because those two countries were naughty and can no longer rebuild their military to the offensive state there once were. We are in Korea, because the Korean conflict has never been officially declared over. The rest just gives us a presence in case someone wants to get stupid. It's how we support our friends. We are there only by their invitation. We bring a lot of money into their local economies and we provide security.

Answer 10

Yes... Any day now those 6 guys, stationed in some country none of us can pronounce, will storm across the border and conquer Russia.
