Honduran Leader Threatens to Push U.S. Military Out of Base if Trump Orders Mass Deportations
In pushing back against President-elect Donald J. Trump’s plan, President Xiomara Castro threatened that a base hosting U.S. troops could “lose all reason to exist in Honduras.”
Honduras, like many poor Central American countries, relies heavily on income from citizens living abroad. About 20% of its income comes from Hondurans living in the US.
How much do they get paid for the military base?
Oh sweet summer child
One thing unmentioned, and I don't think this totally makes up for it but it's worth considering, is people stationed on the base will spend a lot of their pay in the local area. The areas around military bases can make a lot of money from military personnel, even if they aren't being paid directly.
How much is it worth to you to not be forced into personally housing military soldiers in your home ?
Good. Play hardball with the stupid orange fuck. If he wants to play transactional games, then it's only fair that other countries negotiate with him in the same manner.
It's really necessary for everyone on the right. We've gotten away with so much for so long around the world that they literally act like we're the main characters and everyone else will just go along with whatever demented shit they decide to do. Without swift and tangible retaliation that sentiment would just get even more pronounced.
Huh, well, they might want to brace for a very sudden coup in that country if history is any indication...
Xi Jinping is already buying sunscreen for his army...
I fail to see how this would do anything but give the mouth foaming populist , and now imperialist apparentley MAGA crowd , an excuse to bomb the country.
They want an excuse to kill you.
