It's more a question of what countries don't they have bases in?

About "800 military bases around the world".... Obviously, Americans have put more faith in their military than in the Lord to protect their "freedoms". And so they shall lose them, and already have.

Interesting take. Which country or countries have put more faith in the Lord to protect them and consequently have more freedoms and safety?

I know of none.... certainly not the nation called "Israel", either. They put more faith in the US military to save them from their enemies than they put in Jehovah. And so the Lord will no longer protect the US military as he used to and they will be unable to save their own nation, let alone protect Israel. Israel will have no other choice but to turn to the Lord God, or perish. The United States will cease from being a nation.

When you see the list of countries the US. Have invaded since the second world war "ended". You can't believe it. They've literally been on a crusade since 1946. Bombing place after place back to the stone age. Stealing everything worth anything, getting paid to rebuild it and then installing McDonald's et.al.

It's because the terrorists in those lawless places create networks of terrorists who attack America and it's allies.

There's literally no government in those places to stop the Islamists moving in and creating networks to attack western cities. And this is not some predictive worry - it's literally what happened.

Why is America in those places? Because if America wasn't there, the inhabitants would be attacking America and it's allies.
