Exactly, not just Taiwan, they'll also use South Korea and Japan

Just recently they moved their US base to Okinawa, Japan, despite locals against it, for some reason their government pushed it after Abe got assassinated

They even ignored the result of a referendum

Hopefully locals keep push against the War that the US desperately want to ignite but not fight..

Their bases have always been in Okinawa. They are moving a base from one part of the island to another.

US bases already take up a decent chunk of the Island: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:US_military_bases_in...

Lovely, it's all accepted, a sovereign country full of military bases from a foreign country, nobody should question that, ever

You can question it all you. The parent poster was claiming they were moving a base to Okinawa.

Yes, we can see the same situation between Greece and Turkey. As you know, there are also problems between the United States and Turkey. With the recent agreements, F-35 and the bases opened in Greece, the same policy can be applied against Turkey.
