With Trump in charge, that feels more and more like an occupying force, rather than some stabilizing presence, or whatever the bullshit is.

Yeah it's time to cancel all these bases and kick them out. The US can't be considered an ally anymore if it threatens Greenland. Especially the base in Greenland...

Sure would be a shame if we had a bunch of Benghazis right now...

Not joking. Sweden entering NATO also signed an agreement, not necessary for NATO membership, allowing for US service personel to not be under Swedish law while in Sweden. So they will probably be able to commit any crime and just go home and get a slap on the wrist. A US NATO base is expected to be up and running in Sweden in 2027.

Never was a "stabilizing presence" stop kidding yourself.
