Sadly at a time when cool calm and collected news coverage is sorely missing. This will be the perfect opportunity for fake news and conspiracy theories and even political games.

I don’t think so, but of course America has loads of bases on foreign nation soil. I think the problem here is that this is a nation that has posed a security problem for the USA in the past so it is ridiculous to even consider this now.

This is fascism: sucking up to the leader in public praising his strong man persona is something we’ve seen historically. Doesn’t make it any less 🤮
