The USA should not be combating terrorism in Kazakhstan.

Let the Russkis do it. Maybe if the Russkis have to do it, then they would not have the money or the time to build a base in Cuba. War is not only about how many soldiers get experience (blooded), but about money too. There is a reason why France is on its 5th Republic but Britian is not. Duh!

Why should we combat terrorism in Spain? Let the socialist PM sing Kumbaya until he is blue in the face and a jihadi tears of the coexist sticker from the bumper of his car and worse.

"Cuba because your president allows this to happen"

Obasma could not stop the Russians from building in Cuba short of military confrontation or war. It is a totalitarian regime, but still it is considered a sovereign nation by the international 'norms'.

Short of war all we can do is apply diplomatic and economic pressure. Glad I could educate you.

And know we should not help a nation run by a fascist pig like Pedro Sánchez.
