Highlights include: Actually about a fourth or so of these troops are at sea. . This is an estimate, so anywhere the US doesn’t acknowledge how many troops are there, Israel obviously, but also Syria. Have to rely on years old numbers from the pentagon. .

    Whattt! People are critical a country that has a history of invading countries at will, killing civilians in mass, is currently funding genocide and evades any responsibility or consequences.

    But shh… it’s only evil when US says it is. The nuance is, US isn’t housing the troops for the host country’s benefit, no matter how you want to twist the truth.
