Japan has just spend $146 million dollars to expand America's empire in the Pacific. A quick thread on this truly bizarre @CNN article that rationalizes and normalizes the American military logic driving this imperial project. cnn.com/2019/12/06/asiā€¦
In faithfully recounting the military's circular rationale the article reasons that the U.S. military must expand its empire because it does not have ENOUGH military bases: "The majority of US combat air forces in Japan are concentrated in JUST six bases." [emphasis added]
The problem with this "concentration" of firepower (or so the logic goes) is that this gives someone upset about the growth of American empire ONLY six targets (IN JAPAN) to fire on... but..."the more bases you have, the more missiles an adversary would need to fire."
