Wherever the United States builds military bases, they are all strategic points in the local area, and after controlling it, it can control the local situation. This can ensure that the US military can quickly rush to the scene when there is an incident anywhere in the world to protect US interests. Moreover, the US military stationing in many places is funded or partially funded by the local government.

You think the United States is a pig's brain! Of course, it is for his interests in the region, to balance the forces of all parties in the region when there are no disputes, so as to secure the position of the world's number one superpower!

For example, the US military stationed in Iraq is helping others to build, but it is just wantonly encroaching on its oil resources in the name of construction. As far as the United States is concerned, it is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and the more chaotic it is, the richer it will become.

If there is no profit, it will not be early, and who will do it if there is no benefit. The United States will not engage in loss-making business for the sake of its hegemonic position in the world, and it has both economic and political accounts.

1. The United States calls itself the world's policeman...
2. In fact, the world is a hooligan... Construction doesn't cost money, and some countries like sugar daddy...
3. It is still cost-effective to spend a small amount of money to build a military base, and it is convenient to grab resources. . .
In fact, there are historical reasons why the United States chose to station troops in Afghanistan, and this historical reason is mainly divided into three stages. >>>More
The technique is not up to par, and he doesn't score so many shots, it's a shame, it's better to give the opportunity to others, the Chinese team will pass him less next time, and he will throw it in vain.
This is Carlisle's tactic, and the UAE League is the core of the national team, but he is a marginal figure in the Mavericks, and he is not given a chance to play alone under the basket at all! You can only cast blue, if you can change the number, if you don't enter, you won't even be allowed to play! It's not easy for the UAE to be like, don't talk about people at every turn!
First of all, I think that the four seasons in the south are not very cold, and the climate is very pleasant, so I don't have to think about the need for heating in winter like in the north. You need to burn some coal or the weather to ensure the temperature in the house, if you don't go to heat in the north, then there is no way to survive in the house in the north, you are more than 30 degrees below zero, it will make your house a big ice cellar, which is precisely because of the need for heating. >>>More
Love to laugh at others This is a common phenomenon in China, one is that he is jealous that the ridiculed person is too good and wants to give him a. The second is that the ridiculed are too discordant. The third is to use this to improve their own interests and identity.
