SMH...a deal for a new military base; this time in Spain. (illegal, Marines)

Here we go again. The United States expanding overseas militarily when we should be closing bases.

Last year, Australia,...now Spain.

It never ends.

China shows up in Africa with plans for development...

We show up as usual with guns.

And people get mad when I say that American foreign policy is pathetically bankrupt, depraved, and unimaginative.

Just a shift as Europe is abandoned as EU area versus Russia. So some want the US government to own shares of businesses in Africa. That is of course illegal but not in China.
