I'm kind of miffed we haven't been talking about Camp Trump (it wouldn't be Fort Trump because we don't call Army bases on foreign territory Forts) since the re-election. Move everything we've got in Germany to Eastern Europe.

Too bad the Turks shite the bed with us with Erdogan in charge. Incirlik would be pretty convenient. Or even Bagram ... oh wait, sleepy Joe gave it away.

Britain is a sorry assed country. We need to pull out of the bases and let them fend for themselves.

Why would we launch any attacks on Iran out of the UK. Thats just dumb. They are playing politics because we wouldnt do that in the first place.

We fly refueling aircraft etc out of the UK proper regularly for ME operations. Also, Diego Garcia is what’s really being contemplated here. Not mainland Britain.
