| − | :If we close the base in Qatar, which is the biggest American base in the [[Middle East]], how are we gonna bomb [[Iran]], [[Syria]], [[Iraq]], [[Afghanistan]], [[Yemen]], [[Somalia]], [[Sudan]], or even [[Nigeria]]? (From our bases on [[France]], [[England]], or [[Italy]] - if they would let us? But that raises another question: Why should we bomb people in what clearly is the [[European]] sphere of influence? And who's gonna pay for it? And again, bombing [[Nigeria]] just means more [[refugee]]s for [[Europe]], as [[war]] in [[Venezuela]] means more refuges in the [[United States]]._ Let's think this thing through.
