HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 авг 2024
- Over the course of the last century, the US has silently encircled the world with a web of military bases unlike any other in history. No continent is spared. They have shaped the lives of millions, yet remain a mystery to most. Featuring Gore Vidal and Noam Chomsky.

@Mister Brookes ? could you please respond in english i dont speak gibberish.
thanks .
In my country we've had US Special Forces base since 1978 called Playa Grande (Long Beach), placed by the Jimmy Carter office, it's purpose was to train and provide military advice to the army against the Guerrilla Army. It was closed in 1996 after the peace sign, re-opened in 2009 now belonging to the US Marines and got re-purposed to provide training and advice against the drug cartels and the narco-wars. Great Documentary thank you for uploading it. Cheers from Guatemala!
Working class and poor folks are the ones going to die in these wars !
That may be true but bear in mind that we have a 100% volunteer army. There are plenty of careers to pick that offer benefits and tuition reimbursement(as opposed to G.I. Bill) other than the military. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they went so others don't have to. Politicians WOULD bring back the draft if we all refused to sign up. We would have to pull a France 1789-99 on them at that point.

Military protects the corporations, not the populace.
That's right
Military protects EVERYONE. You can hate it all you like but you and these half wits in this Documentary haven't the slightest clue what the world would look like today if the US wasn't everywhere. there will ALWAYS be war and there will ALWAYS casualties. You live in your own little world where you think in this day in age there should be peace. while I agree with you we should have peace but others even outside the US want POWER. there will ALWAYS be people who want power. there are smart people out there who are very thankful for the US. then there are ignorant people who can't see past their own stink. hate it all you want but it changes nothing. there will ALWAYS be things you and the populace doesn't know or will never understand.

@@Sleetjuh as an American I'm sorry you don't like USA but what most people around the world don't realize is allot of Americans dont support the ideas and actions carried out by our government and military. Our government doesn't represent the will of the people. It represents the will of corporations and elites. Corruption is rampant and our military are basically mercenaries at the will of the highest bidders. I appreciate the need for a military but when the leaders who control that military are bribed at every turn then it is no longer representative. You want someone to blame? Blame the elites like the Rothschild and Rockefellers and other elite families who actually control the world and it's militaries from behind the curtains, not the American people.
The scary thing is caling this a conspiracy
Right!!!
The NWO future goal against liberty the republic and constitutional rights for Americans and no National sovereignty for other countries as well. It's not going to be good. But they want it to be wanted as a solution to chaos ...so they're hoping for chaos or they will try invent one like climate change then NWO will become their solution. ""Order out of chaos " then on to total control of the planet and pop. by reducing us..6billion or more. Agenda21 Rothschild stuff , Bush's ,and Obama, and Clinton's..and alot of left wing political leaders, and the UN..along with many elites. That's why conspiracy cause putting so many bases everywhere when not needed nor wanted by the people who are displaced and not considered...no rights..And America is supposed to defend such rights.. heroes no more.🖤
Conspiracy is not the same as conspiracy theory
NONE DARE CALL IT CONSPIRACY

Birds of a feather often flock together. There's a reason why the 5 Eyes remains the biggest trans-national international intelligence agreement; incidentally populated and managed by countries with an Anglo-Saxon background. EU was always just a ruse; it was a front created to ensure that European powers are always kept under American check. WW2 was a big scare and a wake up call for the Americans who continue to view the Germans and Japanese with suspicion even today, behind all that facade of alliances and free trade.
@@utkarshg.bharti9714 - Wrong. Britain has always ruled the USA and still does. The Rothschild family owns the largest single percentage of the Federal Reserve System, and their allies (Zionist International Central Bankers) of the Western world run the show. That's why they built all the institutions in their ruling order (U.N., EU, ECB, IMF, World Bank, BIS, etc. etc. etc. If you look at history. England got us into both WWI, and WWII (and the Middle East also). We were also Britain's defender and ally and supplier in all these wars (even after Congressional Resolutions/Declarations of Neutrality and that we wanted no involvement or foreign entanglements). We even had political/ public referendums which voted against involvement in any wars.
@SkylineToTheSeaAndMe Could you enlightened us how England got your country involved in both WW I & WW II and the Middle East please.

Please explain your perspective of the Nigerian emipre yo mentioned. Do you believe the ever expanding American empire might come into conflict with other countries, as a result of America interfering with those countries' territories?
I think he means that if there must be a stable world order with one superpower at the top let it be them. Rather than China or Russia or rather than a jumbled disorder of vying nations. If China or Russia had the biggest military empire and the most power it'd be worse for all the neutrals.
@@bw4500 Please explain your reasoning behind your belief of China and/or Russia having the biggest military - it would be worst for neutrals.
@@plipogamez3173 - I'm suggesting a possible explanation for Monsieur P's comment, not advancing an opinion myself. The US is at least bound to some degree by notions of human rights. Their populace will outcry over abuses like gitmo, patriot act, etc. China has several million Uighurs in camps worse than gitmo & an all encompassing AI surveillance system and noone says anything. They are not hamstrung by any lofty ideals. Likewise Russia just kills political opponents without trying to hide it. They are openly gangsters. The US at least tries to appear as a force for good.
@@bw4500 Your comment makes me chuckle. It would appear you have a curious interpretation of U.S. geopolitics. I do not see China or Russia as worst than the U.S. I see them as far better in many ways, where international relations are concerned. Not because of their ideals, but due their similar policies, of trying not to interfere in other countries' business. The U.S. has lofty ideals, but they are merely that - ideals, nothing more. If the U.S. lived up to the tenets of the constitution, and practiced such principles aboard, whenever possible - I would be a most vociferous cheerleader of 'the American way'. But alas, they are the biggest organised gangsters on the planet. Please, do not lend much weight to my opinion, check out the reflections of one of the most highly decorated U.S. soldiers - Major General Smedley Darlington Butler.

I was part of the Standing Army...1985 in Germany during the Chernobyl Disaster which was caused by a nuclear accident that occurred on Saturday 26 April 1986 but the Standing Army started before my time. We always had to be Combat Ready while being exposed to the Chernobyl in the air ! Not to forget the toxic exposure at Fort McClellan prior to less than one month before flying to Germany; Sept 1985. Trained in combat readiness, terroristic threats, foreign language, NBC and other war skills. What many don't see is all the work behind the scenes... Not just for the military but for that country.
I grew up on a Military base, Camp Pendleton. I wish I could go back now. It was nice there, really nice ! ....
I understand why we need these bases worldwide(making sure the wars remain small ones cuz let's be real...people are always gonna wanna kill each other).
But we gotta be more humane towards the people of the host countries and not bully them then demand a "thank you" for the protection. That itself will create even more future enemies.

Absolutely, One of the best Documentaries Ever! As I saw it; I thought about the returning soldiers entering Police Departments across the Country in the U.S. I further reflected on how; We allow the weapons to return as well. Police Departments do not need Weapons of WAR, or vehicles with .50 automatic rifles mounted on them..For these Soldiers; PLEASE do NOT become a cop! ...You arent in Helmand Province anymore! .We are already occupied by our own forces...Just a parralel to this story, as we downwind our military complex from War; We have seen a rise of Police "Use of force" incidents, that now Plaque the United States...Think about it. My fears; National Guards..
You are as ignorant as it gets. lol
Many of our MPs become LEOs in the US and happy to be home. There are two things never gets explained in this video. Yes, the troops can get row.dy at times to rid the boredom but no one absolutely no accepts attacks against the nationals of that country. We have a military prison full of those who committed crimes while in other countries. I know being a disabled vet, over Staff Development but also touring my ppl thru that prison as well as the Federal prisons. Negotiations were made long ago by that country's leadership long before those troops arrived. Some of the troops are very young and learning the ropes on their journey but some fall into the wrong crowd who do taunt and dare them. Know all too well as well. What the ppl of that country doesn't see is the long days worked by the soldiers nor do they care. The military gives out harder discipline than that country could ever do to them...again they don't see that it is called the UCMJ; Uniform Code of Military Justice. No military member is to cause an international crisis or incident and it will be dealt with by the military.
Even here in the US if a military member is caught with drugs, I do know at the bases I worked at, they are stripped of their rank, have them clear the premises then face the consequences. It is a Federal, Military operations that every soldier who walks the face of this earth has to answer to since they took that Oath as a soldier. In every country, the military has a brig....on ships has a brig...in the US many brigs and prison barracks.
As for the rise in the Use of Force with the LEOs, they are given show and use of forces guidelines. Some incidents are provoked if an LEO gets hurt or anyone elseis harmed then arrest have to be made; lest the media only shows you what they want you to see. Sometimes you need to keep an open mind and eventually, you will get the whole truth not just what the media wants you to believe. It has always been like that in the headlines. I just hope we are smarter ppl in our communities, country and other countries that know this difference. I do agree there have been those not suited for the job from local, state and federal entities but that doesn't give anyone the right to say Police; as literally using all LEOs accountable for others actions. That isn't the real world nor is it reality. Many LEOs have been killed due to these rioting and looting protest. No one ever talks about them or really says prayers for their families. Those who are truly in the wrong will be dealt with thru the US Courts; no one else is the judge and jury except for GOD.
Ok now,we have US forces stationed in my country (Lithuania). We have been under soviet ocupation for 50 years (1940-1990) and we are more than happy to have US and other NATO forces in our country, protecting our air space and borders with Russia.
For a current real prospective ask the Kurdish people who sacrificed their lives for us in Northern Syria right now
excuse my spelling error perspective not prospective
Enoch Gagne I cant believe how dirty we did the Kurds. I’m ashamed
@Finn MacCool Thanks for quoting Trump instead of thinking for yourself and researching history. So then why did we ask for their help & promise them safety for the thousands of lives they sacrificed? Not only under Trump but other Presidents in the past. And if we aren't in the business of protecting allies for 50 plus years then why do we promise this to Israel, Japan, Saudi Arabia, etc. who have not sacrificed anywhere near the lives the Kurds have for American agenda's???
Turkey isn’t attacking the Kurds they’re securing their border via getting rid of PPK terrorist cells, know what you’re talking about before you start spewing bullshit

If you really think about it we already have! When the news tells you such and such a group is bad do you always believe it? Maybe they aren't bad but the populace needs to be made to think that so that war is justified. There is enough money to grease all the palms of those that are willing to participate in war but none for those that resist war and seek to do something creative and useful.

@@DoubleD72 you confused. I feel bad for you.
37:10 the LTC said the base is temporary and they can easily pack things up and tear them down. The military never packs things up or tears down what they build, they abandon it and leave it for what comes next to deal with because removal would cost as much money as buying or building new again elsewhere and also take up logistics and supplies not to mention time.

Failure to accept the situation, aka denial, is not madness, it is a perfectly natural response to a stressor. The healthy response is to carefully evaluate the situation and make an informed decision about how to proceed. Refusal to accept reality is very unfortunate. We live in a time where about 1/2 of people in civilization refuse to accept reality despite all of the empirical evidence. These unfortunate people are also known as liberals who compensate for their confusion in one of 2 ways. They either live in a self induced euphoria induced by mental illness or illicit drugs or both, or they become violent and lash out verbally and physically at anyone who dares disagree with their destructive behavior. Sadly, these sick twisted people have positioned themselves in such a way that they are able to indoctrinate our children and weak minded citizens.

Man this is depressing to see.. most people here have no idea this stuff even happens or has happened..
Some of these people spend too much time wondering around in their thoughts.They conjure up motives, as if there were a person, one person, who has many motives for the things we do as a country. As a country, we must set policies and then go about implementing those policies. Some tasks we take.on, take years to come to fruition. The actual motive may not be obvious on the surface. Once a decision is made, people aren’t constantly rehashing the motives for what we do. They just stay busy doing it. I believe the reason for the procurement of military basis are made out of specific strategies, and once those decisions are made, there’s too much to do than to stand around second guessing all the time. I do not believe that land for bases is taken to quench a thirst by the US for land. We never use this land for general commerce, strictly using it for military purposes.

This makes United States sound like a terrorist country when in actuality these countries economics depend on the military bases there for their survival and not A1 Soldier or a military person has committed an act of terrorism like we've seen or no on our own Shores by actual terrorists so fu you socialists communist social justice Warriors go back to your own country if you don't like it here he is sucking the cowdry here who's ever heard of killing the goose that lays the golden egg
@@richardhampton4915 the US is responsible for over 200,000 CIVILIAN deaths since 9/11.
Make sure to get all of that sand out of your ears when you finally manage to pull your head out of the sand.
America would have troops in Russia and China if they could.
Canada would take over the world,,.... If ... They would if they could.
@NUGNESS123 No. Russia and China would just take the whole of America if they could and not just colonize, exploit and destabilize under false pretenses like America does in so many countries around the world.
Also it is actually criminal the way the military veterans of these conflicts are treated by governmental agencies from the politicians responsible for these wars and the vague reasons for them.
I wish the video would have discussed the number of instances where the gov't of a particular country ordered our military to leave, yet we refused even though SOFA or other treaties obligated us to leave when requested. I'm talking about straight up that gov't legitimately ordered us out and we illegitimately refused.
Yeah they gloss over that our protection is wanted
Oh you're absolutely right! I mean what right do we have to be on Japanese soil? We should immediately pack up and leave because how does the saying go? "To the victor, the spoils DON'T go." Right? And while we are putting our tail between our legs and packing up, we should ask them what else we can give them to make up for all of the years we inconvenienced them after they attacked us as part of their plan to add our lands to their "Empire of the Rising Sun". While we are at it why don't we apologize for all of the US civilians that they imprisoned and killed in POW camps, and for all of the American soldiers they killed in the Bataan Death March. I mean, we are such imperial aggressors. And since when are there consequences for actions anyways? Oh and speaking of consequences, have you ever wondered how the Japanese auto industry got started? ' You haven't you say? Well let me tell you... We rebuilt that country's industry and then added that much again to it after the war. Our government probably gave the Japanese more money and equipment in today's money than they gave us during the covid pandemic. You're right, we should stop being so selfish.
Here’s a tiny question, for all us Americans. What have we been fighting for? You know the wars we’ve been embroiled in…forever…what’s their purpose, exactly? Can anyone say? Now, I don’t ask that question to be difficult. I ask it to clarify. What I think we should have wanted is something like this. Education for every child on planet Earth. Healthcare for every life on planet earth. Savings, income, shelter, food. Stability, safety, opportunity. A fair and decent life, not just “a chance” at one. Now, the world would probably have wanted all that and even joined us on the quest towards becoming such a planet. We should have wanted something very much like a global social democracy in other words, not as in the “one-world government” of the paranoid American right-winger's fever dreams, but as in things like healthcare, education, media, income, savings, shelter, food…all becoming constitutional rights, backed by institutional powers of states. If we were truly wise, then, we would have aspired to be the world’s last hegemon. To have built a world in which every life is empowered enough never to need the protection of a bully who shakes it down ever again. One in which every life has the resources for true self-determination, self-governance, self-direction.
A world without a hegemon is what we should have wanted to build, not to be yet another one of history’s failed hegemons, because being one at all is not a job worth having. Perhaps we still can...Perhaps... (Have more on these topics on my youtube channel.) ~PEACE!
How are we going to achieve all of those goals you stated and please clarify what goals you want America to strive for instead.
If America doesn't fight to gain power another country will do it so was the point on complaining everyone wants control and power.
So, instead of preventing great power wars you want the US to basically be an even bigger welfare giver to the world than it already is? (Keep in mind the US is ALREADY the largest giver in foreign aid and the largest recipient of resettlement refugees)
What we are fighting for depends on the time period. During the Cold War we were terrified that the Soviets would try to do to the rest of the world (and most importantly Western Europe and ourselves) what they did to Eastern Europe.... we were not incorrect in this assumption as they outright stated this as their goal.
^ whether or not you agree in the manner the US fought this conflict is a different story entirely (the US "screwed up" ALOT to put it almost comically lightly)
After the cold war the next big conflict to pop up was the Persian gulf conflict (well technically the Balkan crisis.. which the US stayed out of at first but then intervened after the Europeans proved useless and reports of genocide kept coming in.. the Serbs deny the genocide bit but the Bosnians stick to it. After that the US would help Kosovo break from Serbia for similar gripes)
But the Persian gulf crisis was sparked on several fears, primarily that Saddam would invade Saudi Arabia and thus get the vast majority of the world's oil under his control... this couldn't be allowed and thus the US went in to crush Saddam, and won handidly
After that it was the war on terror which I don't think I really need to explain
And finally we got to the war on ISIS, which is now over so the US is attempting to draw back its forces ... again.... something will almost defenitly explode.
@@Gorilder Hmmm, interesting views, my friend, without a doubt. It goes way deeper. I've done plenty of videos on this (and others) matter on my channel. A way bigger picture. I'll, for now, will leave it at that. Thanks for the comment and your view of this matter. Cheers!
War is an external manifestation of a mind that is in conflict with itself. Each one that gives his consent either directly or indirectly is responsible for the continuation of war in this world of human beings. War begins in the human mind, after it was carefully developed and distorted in the schools were tools are being created, tools that are going to be used such in the waging of war. A human mind that is unable to recognize their reflection in another human being, and vice versa, carries the diseased state within, the diseased state of division, separation and thus that human being will blindly go to work in a factory that produces weapons. Who is waging the war then, without workers producing weapons?
It is a safe excuse to claim that we are against the war and the governmental authorities that are waging war. *The war starts at the arms factory where workers work.* It is also a safe excuse for these people to hide themselves behind the "need" for work, thus giving their consent to the beginning of the war. And the executioners were a profession once. Is there a difference?
Every war is waged by the workers, not because they know what they are doing, but because they are blind and dowdy-minded in what the boss and every boss will command.
The lack of education creates submissive subhumans who do not have a place to exist among us because they are the first to pick up the gun to kill the brother and sister, the father and the mother in a neighboring state, in the neighbors' home, in the next room ~
i believe psychopathic narcissists are at the head of all dysfunction pushing and prodding to suit their own selfish supply, unquestionably shown by history to be male dominated,
There is a system in wars
Some of you might see or as this but some of us are glad to have American presence. They keep countries like China invading Hong Kong. That is the only reason China had not just came in with tanks demanding everything
An empire can only be in one of two states, it is either expanding or contracting. So which do you prefer?
The earth lives in fear when the wicked and oppressors remain so strong. Who will deliver the people of the world?
The Most High
We the people! But we the people just want to consume and be protected by the government. Obey! Consume! Follow corporate law! Deep throat the boot! The militarization of the police is for when they come for the people's guns cuz the people are the only things in the way of their control.
We will lose our own country for all are evil actions in other countries

Here's a daunting and troubling question, could humanity keep peace? My opinion is that human history has been is littered with wars, violence, cruel killings
Exactly, we are a war-like race. It is what we do.
How many Russian Military basses are there around the World, compared to the US ?
None....Less than 200 bases.
i get why the people of Okinawa feel a way about the United States but prior to World War 2 the U.S didnt have bases over there...your country and your people decided u wanted to blow up Hawaii...what did u think would happen?.."to the victor belong the spoils"...dont cry after you picked the fight and it didnt go as planned
it wasnt them, simply people related to them.
@@MrSimondaniel3 so if a country bombs another country(pearl harbor)thought it wiped out the entire pacific fleet,with the intention of them invading afterwards,killed countless people,now once it didnt achieve its ultimate goal and part of their loss is some military bases is that wrong??Japan came over and attacked america...destroyed part of Hawaii,but America is the bad guy..u cant have it both ways?now idk if holding bases 75years is right but who makes that call?whats the proper amount of years??...u want Okinawa back,watch how quick China will be more than willing to have it for themselves...dont get it twisted...japan is safe from China and North Korea bc America is there
@Patrick Kazan im a lil confused at what you are saying...what money isnt getting back home?who is the world open?what necessitates arent being recieved?im not challenging u i think im just confused
Exactly,
Elites from the largest of entities to the smallest, these Elites think they are God and when death comes........SO WHAT!
These People who we let govern our Cities and Towns, end up becoming so self centered and ego motivated, they start thinking of others outside their circle are less than, President Trump is the only one brave enough to expose the Pay to Play and all the filth that comes with dirty ways!!!
This is written and might God have Mercy, through Christ who strengthens, Amen!!!
Ha! I was with you until the Trump part.
12 commercial breaks? Are you sure this is is how to get people watching this important message?
Very well put Keith

I wish that I had that money
im so glad theres no military bases in new zealand.
Give it time .
Very good facts documentary
Curious, Real Stories doesn't have any videos about the Military Empires of China or Russia...
The US spends more than the next 9 countries combined.
I don't know if you watched it, the story wasn't about money but empire...
@@hpillsbury06 idk what you're trying to say. If I was going to talk about military empires in the world, the US is funded more than the next 9 countries combined. We are the world police. We are military empire. No one equal, only second place and lower.
Matthew McClain China is becoming a real emerging empire, they’ve built a base in Africa and also made artificial island in the west Philippine sea. The Chinese military budget has grown so fast. They have steadily increased budget at 7% a year from 2015
@@decapitanfluffy9634 they are becoming an economic empire sure. Military empire? No where anywhere even remotely close to the US
Military presence does not necessarily indicate war. It could also be a point of peace and security for populations. Peacekeeping missions. Stability brings economic opportunities benefiting both local population and international community.
Man, the US army is only there to secure American economical interests. They are not there to bring peace and democracy. You are an idiot if you believe that.
We have been ruled for millenia by functional pscychopats and as a consequense our laws and values are far from logical and efficient. At the countrary, they only serve to keep the poweful in place.
Your ignorance is pathetic
Yeah, I hear these people, especially Okinawans. But that's the problem with being a world power in the 21st century... People don't want you there, but when something goes wrong, they say " why aren't you here??!!" Get over here and help us.. why can't you stop what's happening to us ??!!". It's will always be a catch 22..
Real Stories Thanks
2:26 Dude, no one ever told me the military does talent night! Sign me up.
Tekton lol I did almost ten years in the military and yes talent night is a thing lmao 😂
Lol so now we know what would become if Athens won the war against sparta.
That's me. An unofficial Empire.
Very well put
Good doc. I was hoping it was a little bit newer. It would've been interesting to hear how they talk about the orange devil.
Thank God there is no oil on the moon or at least I hope so.
why? let them go to the moon rather than kill people over oil here...
It's not just oil, it's the Greater Isreal Project
Thanks ATB
Looks like this was made in about 2010... So we've come this far... might as well
have a follow up after 9 years.
