Isn't It Time the U.S. Quit?




Police bugged Muslim MP Sadiq Khan. Could the U.S. have had a role in this?

The larger question goes like this. It's sixty-three years after the Second World War, and seventeen years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, yet the U.S. still maintains a network of bases in the UK. Isn't it time they quit?

Yes, I know the British government should quit as well. But let's leave that up to the residents of the UK.

U.S. policy reminds me of Brezhnev's advice to Dubcek in 1968:"Your frontiers are our frontiers." Enough said.
