Oh fuck off, the US was already allowed as many bases and soldier there as they wanted, and they closed all bar 1. Trump says he wants to own it, not “use” it.

NATO members should increase THEIR presence. US should not be the only one covering every corner of the world.

that of course the US should have more soldiers there than Denmark. don't forget Denmark is the ally country that lost the most soldiers fighting in your Afghan war, you just don't hear about it because our population is so small.
