I won't necessarily disagree with you... but there are also those of us who see mistakes as ways to improve ourselves and as such do not regret making them.

has someone made a map with all the us military bases on it?
[–] Techno_Shaman [S] 0 points 6 points 6 points (+6|-0) ago
I couldn't find any complete one but this image seems to be the best one so far.

Holy shit, looks like Russia, China, Southern South America, and Central Africa is about all that's left.

I've seen a few of them before. Try a quick Google search or hit up /r/MapPorn on reddit and search there. It's pretty unsettling seeing the amount and spread of US bases.

We shouldn't be blind to the flaws of Putin just because of the flaws of the west, or visa versa.

These guys made THAT map: http://militarybases.co See it for yourself and tell me if Putin is right or wrong?? I would like to know the OP's and others their opinion after reviewing this.

Militarily bases =/= taking over a neighboring country with out of uniform troops, and insignia-less tanks and trucks.

Holy fuck, so many crazy people over here are proRussia and antiU.S. based on comments so far. This is gonna be fun to watch to see how this social networking site develops. I already know the outcome of places like this, but can not help but be ecstatic to watch it play out.
