US Adding Another Military Base In Europe To Continue Cold War And Boost US Military Industrial Complex Profits (VIDEO)







It's being reported that Bulgaria has invited the US to send troops to its territory. One Bulgarian daily newspaper says Washington has already pumped around 60 million dollars into rebuilding a training range in the country's East. The government in Sofia says this will help boost regional security and assist with the training of its soldiers. Anti-war activist Brian Becker says the US is seeking to extend its influence in eastern Europe.



Why does US need over 1000 military bases around the world? - (VIDEO)






David Vine, a professor of anthropology at American University explained the argument the Pentagon uses to justify its military presence across the globe is "self-defense". Even when it comes to confirmed US allies like Japan, Italy and Germany, as well as various tiny islands through the Pacific and Indian oceans.

"Why does the United States have a military base in the middle of the Indian ocean? Why does the United States need one? Is it protecting the United States in anyway?" asked Vine. "Not to mention, why are we spending tens of millions of dollars on things like golf courses.

The Pentagon has somewhere on the order of 230 golf courses around the world. Couldn't we cut a few of those, close down a few of those, put the money back into Pell Grants or housing programs or homelessness diversion programs?"

Afghan President Hamid Karzai once admitted that with the US military bases established permanently in Afghanistan there'll be economic prosperity and end to the violence in the country. At the same time, the US economy continues in dire straits yet little is being done to address it.
