Better question:

Why do you post this into the Indian defence section?

To screw others any time.

 

[ozzy22]

To protect the constitution from people that are jealous of their freedoms? I don’t know why people ask such stupid questions.

Hard to make out the pic but we have a base off Hainan Island?? Or is that Taiwan?

To exert influence, and control trade routes, simple as that. It's really not that complicated.

Every super power (and rising power) has to do this, in order to survive. The wealthier a nation gets, the more paranoid it gets about losing that wealth, thus it will go to great lengths to protect it's interests, even going to all out war.

 

[Royal Kathiyawadi]

we have over 100 bases in the world so we can screw any country whenever we want

Because the US is the world's tyranny and policeman。

Please don't follow what the U.S. is doing. I heard China wants to establish a base. Is China becoming the world's tyrant and policeman?
