Funny you should say that, I just was thinking about how the nearly 600 facilities around world along with the nearly 4500 US bases (according to Pornmasta source) is reminiscent of how the UK over extended itself before the empire ultimately collapsed around a century ago.... the US expansion is also a cost that is no longer affordable.
So be careful about history repeating itself - its very true.
