> Japan, Germany, are effectively still occupied.

No, they aren't. Having allied forces deployed on your soil by mutual agreement is not occupation.

> Once a US base gets established in your territory, you can never get it out.

There are quite a long list of counterexamples; the US has closed lots of overseas bases (both in countries that remain on good terms with the US and in those where the relationship soured.)

> Just ask the Iraqi's.

"Iraqis", and the US closed large numbers of Iraqi bases in the 2020-2021 drawdown and the US and Iraq are currently (last I checked) in discussions on a complete drawdown of US military presence which would close the remaining bases.

I would encourage you, if you claimed so in this thread that you are a US and UK citizen, to quickly move out of US and renounce your US citizenship. So the torture and rage that you're displaying here and the paradox of your identity doesn't drive you insane. Also you should renounce your UK citizenship, as UK and US are very close allies. Maybe try moving to Russia? I heard they're having another military mobilization, and is paying pretty well.

Yeah, I'm sure you would love to "encourage" all such dissenters to exile themselves. While simultaneously claiming you stand "for freedom". Because obviously, you're in charge, right?

Irony is dead ...

Just people who can't seem to understand that the world isn't black or white, but shades of gray.

The persecution complex is odd too. Calling themselves a "dissenter", and invoking "exile", because their hypocrisy got called out and their factual claims are easily disproved.

Phillipines too:

They are going back currently, as they're invited to. You know, because that's how consent works, when you don't see everyone else as objects in a conspiracy.

Actually, the US just finished leaving Niger this week:
