Al Jazeera can call it an invasion or whatever else they want but until they send some help themselves they should really just shut the fuck up.

Huh?
They are just reporting the news man.
BTW, the US troops are there for security.

Anyone?

ZERO.
It would be an act of war if anyone even thought about putting a base on US soil OR set up shop in Mexico or one of the close Caribbean islands. Lets say Russia wanted to set up a base on Cuba, the very country we also have a base, we would without question go to war with them, as we almost did during the Bay Of Pigs nonsense. Can you imagine if Venezuela put a base in Tijuana, Mexico? It would be FARGIN WAR!!!
I'm American so it's sometimes not easy to call out my own people, but since I've lived abroad and been able to mix with an international community, as well as watch international news, my eyes have been opened and I'm a bit embarrassed at some of the shit we do. Global domination is what it is.
