Antiwar.com: See 867 Military Bases on New Online Tool
World Beyond War has launched a new online tool that allows the user to view a globe pock-marked with 867 U.S. military bases in countries other than the United States, and to zoom in for a satellite view of and detailed information on each base. The tool also allows filtering the map or list of bases by country, government type, opening date, number of personnel, or acres of land occupied.
This visual database was researched and developed by World Beyond War to help journalists, activists, researchers, and individual readers understand the immense problem of excessive preparation for war, which inevitably leads to international bullying, meddling, threats, escalation, and mass atrocity. By illustrating the extent of the US empire of military outposts, World Beyond War hopes to call attention to the wider problem of war preparations.

Our founders warned of becoming entangled in foreign affairs. Yes, these are different times requiring different tactics and responses. But stick your nose into every damn hornet's nest and eventually you're going to get stung real bad. When the sun never sets on US foreign policy, you know that we have clearly exceeded the bounds of propriety. We care far more about the borders of Ukraine, for example, than we do our own. Something very wrong with this picture.
Where is the online app for Russian or Chinese military bases?
Are not Russian and Chinese programmers just as intelligent?
There are. They are just no longer among us having disappeared into the gulag system.
When Russian soldiers are stationed in Kyrgyzstan, do they have base with housing and other structures or d they just all sleep in a hole in the ground? Asking for a friend.
If the Russian soldiers scooped out the hole with their bare hands, would that be counted as a structure and would the area then be considered a base?
I love WNU. He can be counted to run these number of bases story once or twice a year and follow the lead of chuckleheads at The Guardian or AntiWar.
The US is over extended, has been for some time. Read...The. Rise and Fall of Great Powers. Good book, explains the effect of long term large military spending has on an economy.
I have looked at the program and I know part of its data set is off. BUT it is interesting to see programs like this one.
Want to thank the editor who made this available. There is so much stuff on the internet you are never going to see it all.
Punk ass troll does not know how to reference a book.
Punk ass does not know how to read a chart or more importantly pick the right chart which shows relevant data.

China will spend as much as the US in 3 or 4 years and Punk Ass will still be making lame punk ass remarks.
Gee that was an intelligent post.
You are in rare form today skoda. The 7:45 poster does not understand that you cannot read.
so his advice means nothing to you so just ignore it.
When 12:14 is done biting the pillow, we can have a intelligent conversation.
not possible with your 45 IQ level
add a hundred. you would be much closer
@5:31 You don't need a sophisticated tool to visualize the other bases. Give me a globe and a sharpie and I'll slap the 8-9 dots on it for you myself.
if you do yhat you will have to do a 150 subtraction
Yep not much out there for Russians and chinese military.
5:31hrs, = Skoda
Skoda does not know what a globe is and colors his hands with sharpies.
You might have trouble teaching him. Lord knows there are people on this blog who have tried.
