I wonder why all people around the globe care about our elections

It is very important to the rest of the world. Depending on who's elected, the color of the bombing planes might change to rainbow color.
@@billisultan6224 i believe the US mostly uses bombing drones now
Because you guys have a shit load of influence, plus... it's a joke and the whole show around it, quite entertaining for us.. You pick the puppet on the left or the puppet on the right? What a choice.. hehe
Besides, for some reason all the internet talks about the election, even our local news and Trump did made it very special, this politics.. what a dick.
But in a way you are right, why oh why is the world so interested in America? I know so many other places that are just better places to be. I guess Americans are so loud, hard to ignore you guys.
@@billisultan6224 dont forget that now drones in Syria will have blm and refugees welcome signs
I'm sure you already know this Johnny but there is a huge court case about a hit and run incident near a military base here in the UK. The victim was a British citizen and the accused perpetrator was the wife of an American who was stationed at a base. She fled citing diplomatic immunity and thus hasn't faced trial. Highlights the grey area of jurisdiction with regards to American bases.
She was a diplomats wife I think this says more about how the US views other countries laws rather than bases. Even though the husband had diplomatic immunity not everything you do should be immune to laws expecially in countries which have justice systems that are similar to ours
Oh I remember tagging
@@colek2470 Her husband was never a diplomat. They just don't want it to go before a UK criminal court in case it's officially disclosed that the place is not an RAF base but a US forward listening post.
@@cliffdunlop8891 her name was Anne Sacoolas she is married to Jonathan Sacoolas who is an alleged nsa spy that had diplomatic immunity he might of not been what you think a diplomat is but both the UK and US government accepted that he was a diplomat. Not all people who are “diplomats” are there for relations between two countries
Wouldn't have happened at the Swingson roundabout.
8:54 Holy crap, As a South korean, I had no idea we had THAT many US bases here. Coupled with the fact that the US can take control over the korean military in war(wartime OPCON), it might as well just be US territory.

How does that make you feel?
You are US territory though, not de jure, but de facto.
事实上，南朝鲜也是美国军事基地。
It is already
I've got a friend who is in the Royal Navy and was stationed in Norway for a few months, he said that the day he realised the sheer mass of the US military and its budget was when he left his barracks for only a day and when he came back there was a massive US camp/ base set up right next to him. He couldn't believe just how fast all the equipment and barracks had been formed together although often speaks of the mental funding of the US.

The US has been focused on winning the logistical front of any conflict since before 1941. That doesn’t shock me very much.
@@DarkLobster69Yeah, winning the logistics and losing the war

And remember it's because of US that friendly Euros had a chance against Germany. We win.

I have worked on US bases abroad and currently live privately in a European country that has US bases. While some people resent the presence of US military, it is rarely mentioned. They almost always say that it doesn't bother them personally, and that it helps provide work for the locals and injects a ton of money into the local economy. Some have actually complained when the bases were shut down, because it killed the local economy. So, I am sure we can find the same pros and cons going back to the Roman Empire, too.
"that it helps provide work for the locals and injects a ton of money into the local economy" - until the day comes when a Russian, N. Korean or Chinese nuclear warhead lands and all that economy instantly evaporates. Current U.S. administration does whatever possible to make it end in such a way.
Yeah right.. Germany and Japan want them out and do many other nations. We are a terrorist nation
Thank you. I'm from Germany, from the North so no bases around me (I really dont know what the dots are supposed to be, like theres supposed be one near Lübeck? News to me, we were in the British zone post WW2, Wikipedia also lists obly bases in the west and south where the US zone used to be) but I did hear about how some towns were nervous as fuck when Trumo threatened to pull out. The far right claims we are occupied as if it's against our will but in reality, it's like you said: Many don't care or are in favor.

Very interesting. While serving with the US Air Force in the 1950s. I visited a few bases outside of the US. Also while serving with the Army in the 1960s. Thanks for the info.

Hey @johnnyharris You missed one in Poland, Redzikowo - it is the most important military base for EU because of it's anti rocket system. I was actually a student there in middle school, the base is right behind it lol.
Just came across your video although it was done a while ago. I was a transportation officer in the US Air Force. Actually there is a rather sophisticated system to identify every facility and ships at sea! Your count is about 100 short.
Some of these locations are part of communication networks. Some are intelligence gathering sights. Some are used to preposition equipment 'just in case'. Some are early warning facilities, like the one you mentioned in Greenland.
*Johnny gets a text*
US Department of Defence: “aye fam delete this rn”
They wouldn't do that bc of Streisand effect, instead they would do a PR blitz on MassMedia and newspaper opinion pieces that all the countries that have bases in them got into "willing partnerships", that way they can easily muddy up the conversation
they probably can, there is a ton of former NSA officials in Google

Do you know what makes the American military such an aggressive fighting war machine? On every base and ship around the world they installed the Taylor C602 Ice Cream Maker ( the same one used by McDonalds ) and it never works and it really really pisses them off.
Haha

The business model for taylor and the military industrial complex is very similar. Both like it and profit off of things being broken.
Nice!
“Alright listen I’m not going to explain every single base.”
No seriously please continue and do all of them. This is fascinating.
He should really, at least make a list with the source that revealed its location. I was deployed to the Middle East before, and can already tell some of those dots don't have a US facility on them but are rather that of the host nation. Or it's a military reservation that between temporary exercises is just an empty field.
You must also calculate those bases that are officially of the hosting country but are actually used by the US military for example the Aviano air base in Italy
I think the craziest part of most of our bases Is that they're in places we ravaged before. Okinawa for example, we destroyed that place & not to long ago I had a buddy stationed there. That's wild to think about.
The Japan bases have a horrible reputation still. Rape and violence to locals is still prevalent
The Japanese are the one that destroyed that place lmao
@@danielcoffin4410joint effort.
Part of the treaties that ended the war was partial US occupation (for many reasons) and they are free to ask us to leave whenever they want, but they’d rather have our base than be a part of China.

Excellent video. Thank you for creating. I grew up in Bremerton, WA near the Puget Sound naval shipyard. Which also includes a toxic Superfund site. (I have photos if you are interested). I’ve also been a military dependent. I lived in Okinawa while my husband was stationed on Futenma. My son was born at Camp Lester. Have stories about that experience. Okinawa is an occupied colony. Brutal. Yet so was PSNS. Though they provide jobs the pollution is horrific. They just leave it.
Hey Johnny I would really love it to have a map like the one you created on u.s bases through out the world, I really enjoyed your video, thanks.
"Even the US military doesn't know how big the US military is"
Sounds like... warhammer 40k lol
Except it's pre-horus here- *BLAM*
You know in Dawn of War when your done with your main base then build other smaller ones just in case your main gets destroyed 😂😂. That's what I kept thinking about through out this video 😅

About ten years ago I drove around Europe for a few months. Saw multiple vehicles - mostly in Germany, but to a lesser extent in other countries too - with license plates from various US states. Apparently, foreign-based US servicemen and members of their families ship their American vehicles over there in containers.
@@ThisHandleWasTheOnly1Available It’s the same here in the UK. Lot of people I work with brought their cars from home over here. I can buy a car from the states and have it shipped over here as well through the military’s automobile program.

I think Americans don't realize how much of their news, issues and culture (especially pop culture) seeps into other countries. Even if you don't give a damn, it's pretty hard to escape it.
47-year-old black woman in America…my father did two tours in Germany, one tour in South Korea. South Korea was before me, but I attended kindergarten at Katterbach Army Base in Ansbach, Germany. I attended 4th, 5th, and 6th grades at the Strasberg Kaserne, and started 7th grade at Baumholder American High School. I loved living in Idar-Oberstein, and I loved the locals who were involved in my very young life in Ansbach. These people had so much respect and reverence for my family and I. Military family culture abroad was very much a collectivist culture and each time we returned to the U.S. I just didn’t fit, and it didn’t matter how many years in the U.S. I got under my belt, I never fit. And then I got violated, my children were violated. The American government refused to uphold the law and constitution regarding me and my children’s rights. The only institution to offer me an explanation (not justice, not protection, not safety) was the FBI. I was told these things happen sometimes, and that they would look into it and call me back. They never called back.

Start cursing the US and NATO with the curse of the Midianites. May God give their office to another one who is more worthy of it.
Living on a military installation one thing I can see is that the military population largely supports the surrounding economy and boosts it a lot.
Varying from just food, drinking, houses/rent, barbers, clothing alterations, and general shopping these area around larger installations end up making decent amounts of money from all the military personnel and their spouses that live and shop in the area.
On the negative side this military population also brings much more traffic as tons of people are trying to go to and from the same area every day. Also depending on the base they cause a lot of surrounding noise pollution whether it be aircraft, explosions, helicopters, etc.
There are both negatives and positives to living next to military installations

Absolutely fascinating; definitely mind-boggling.
Ask the Okinawans on what it’s like to live near a US base. Pretty sure they can sum it up.
“What it’s like to live next to U.S military base?”
Replying in Chinese and Russian.
There are only 2,000 people in a base. It can be American or it can be Chinese. As long as you go to war, you can seize it by strength
Ten years ago, Iran did not have a military base. Iran’s military bases are now all over the Middle East. As long as you are willing to wage war, military bases can be established at any time. It is also possible to seize military bases from others. There is no international law under a state of war. Where do you want to build a military base depends on how strong your military strength is
@@sosoable Well, the whole reason of the existence of military bases abroad is to make your opposition’s operations less or even non cos-efficient.
Yes, you can take over military bases by force, but will you have enough money to maintain all those bases? They don’t even have much strategic values to you cause, again, the idea of military bases is to make your enemy spend more money on operations in the area.
@@HenryTitor There is a problem with your logic. Whoever has more military bases will spend more money. China did not start a war, and China does not consume money. Americans are now expansionist. Americans consume more
@@sosoable That is what makes U.S a unique situation. Because U.S dollar is currently the global currency unit, U.S can theoretically print as much money as they need to support all those expenses and the inflation will hardly be noticed because it was distributed to rest of the world.
Bruh this guy had clearance to all military bases across the world and he didn’t go Area 51.
LOL secret not even close he needs cosmic to get in there.
lmaoo
Luke you know there is 13 class above top secret. He could not enter even CIA HQ with that clearance.
He didn't have access to every single base across the world, he had OF-1 clearance (a clearance even a junior enlisted has) to NATO bases that were designated for OF-1 Clearance. Which is pretty low.
Your dog could get a secret clearence lmao its not even that cool
Nanoose Bay on Vancouver Island is a US Submarine facility in Canada.
From the interweb:
"The Nanoose Range is maintained and operated by the Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Keyport (NUWCDIVKPT). The range is a joint United States-Canadian facility located in the Strait of Georgia on the eastern side of Vancouver Island, British Columbia"
The classic question "why do they hate us" is robustly answered right here.
Actually, there is a lot more to it than that but it's a good start, visually.
It really isn’t

Fun fact: When Spain, my country, joined NATO, we made a deal that consisted in the US removing its bases as we entered the organization. The bases are still there and no one has even tried to do anything about it
This is insane, and freaks me out
At least you dont have nuke in their base… 🙂🇮🇹
🤷♂️
USA is exceptional. Before WW2 we (the Hungarians) tried to join the Allies but the USA told us they don't want to upset the Germans. After WW2 the USA told us if we pay a bunch of money they make sure Hungary will be a democracy. We paid the money and they left the country leaving it for the Soviet Union. :)
Also in 1956 they promissed support if we rebell against the Russians, we did it and they took over Suez, the americans knew Russia can't intervene in Suez if they have to intervene in Hungary.
You have to love them, they are just so dishonest and sometimes evil while they preach about freedom and democracy.
@@Zodroo_Tint bro we didnt take the suez what are you talking about
Hey I am from Germany and I am a Bit scared because they are a lots of big military bases all across my country (I live 5km away from Rammstein in a small village(Erzenhausen)) and if a war happened Tease bases are priority targets vor other countries that have like Nuklear weapons ore something,
I believe a war is unlikely but the situation with Ukrainian and Russland is a bit scary
very good and interesting video and sry vor my bad English
Remember the song red balloons
Your English is fine! A few mistakes, but perfectly understandable.
Awesome video!!!
The reason why all those bases still exist is because they signed the same 1955 contract with the Taylor company which states every Taylor C602 ice cream machine must be kept and protected by the US military on every base ever made, and can NOT be removed or replaced unless you " call the guy"
I knew this led back to McDonald’s broke. Ice cream machines
Hahaha

I was living in Egypt awhile back and my best friend's father was an engineer in the US navy there. We used to go to the military base and man, it was like I skipped flying a plane and took a camel to America. We had dunkin donuts, subway, grocery stores with only American products and only takes dollars. The houses and building complex on the bases were so different than Egypt's architecture that you really felt confused when you went back and forth in and out of the bases. There were even cars only found in America like mustangs and acuras.
Where’s the military base exactly located in Egypt
I remember when the 02 war started I was a car lot attendant, brought around a girls car that just got called to go to Afghanistan. The look of fear in her eyes I'll never forget
My Dad is a US Army retired from Puerto Rico and in Salinas, Puerto Rico there's a base and I remember we use to go there to shop because everything is even cheaper than it is outside the base. They just not there with a base but they too influence in the economy of the little city of Salinas, Puerto Rico
imagine there were hundreds journalists in the world like Johnny Harris.
There are. Most of them work for places like the Wall Street Journal.
There are. Seek and you shall find.
There are thousands of real journalists. Only thing is, that the outlets wont buy their material anymore. Entertainment is where the money is.
there are...
There are 10s of millions with similar beliefs and goals, you just gotta focus on what it is your truly searching for. Johnny Harris is just one of those people. Ones who would search for facts and the truth of the world so we can understand it are what we need.

@Don't Look Up funny that I see this reply as I watched Jake trans video on war, and that it was always about oil. Definitely a sour hit of reality, we can improve this world as we grow, but yeah there's no denying that most of our peace stems from war.
Accountants and analysts: “So, how much money did you spend last year?”
U.S. Department of Defense: “Yes.”
That is another thing. They used to publish this. The last report I ever saw on it, as a Contracting Officer, was around 2005. At that time we outspent by almost double, the next highest spending government in the world. It was astronomical and it has increased over a thousand fold since then.
Sun Tzu would be happy with that answer
@@benbog2 Gotta love Sun Tzu, shows there was great wisdom in ancient times. Common sense does not change, but people do become less and less moral over time.
We spent ALL the money 🤣
According to Donald Rumsfeld, during and after the invasion of Iraq, there was $2 Trillion of the Pentagon budget, that could not be traced.

Hai Johnny, have been enjoying your videos for a while now! Thanks!
I want to share a weird experience I had when I was travelling with my ex-wife through Spain. In de South western part there is a us base situated. We were amazed about the size of it. We came up to the city centre and went for a sandwich and some other stuff. When we came back our Spanish rental car had obtained a parking ticket. We were quite surprised about that. My wife, highly natural blond got out of the car when we passed a police officer on the street. To ask about the reason of the ticket.
The weirdest thing happend. He shouted out: no problem mamm. And saluted my wife.
We are both Dutch but I think the local authorities have instructed their staff the stay the f@ck out of the way of maybe-personell of us bases
I think it's probably more likely they were instructed to stay out of the way of maybe non personnel. I have friends who have been stationed abroad several times, and from what I gather, the MPs have no problem being a massive pain in the ass to US military personnel, lol.
You’re missing a bunch off the coast of Western Australia - their warships dock in our harbour and they have bunch of bases here

@@deadman9323 Dudeee...
Not yet, but definitely soon
Jaandar Khan: What? Makes no sense at all. I think people get confused between winning a war but losing the objective. One small unit took out around 50% of the taliban within a couple months. The rest scattered across the border and was HIDING till we recently pulled out. Just like when people talk about Vietnam war they talk as if the US troops were being overrun and lost. The US never lost a battle in Vietnam and had a kill ratio of around 60+\1 but they lost the objective because the VC hid till we were pulling out. Plus our generals at the time (like today) were and are some of the worse this country ever had. It’s even worse today.
Meanwhile me an U.S Airman only knew about the existence of like 5% of these bases 😂
There’s multiple reasons, the US being in power the way it is, is probably for the best. Can’t imagine china being in power of the world

It's mind blowing!
