Not knowing how these things normally work I'd just kindof assumed it was generally polite if not outright agreed upon that one doesn't leave weapons sitting pointed at one's neighbours ๐ค ๐คท Maybe I think too much of hunams ๐
The USA establish military bases INSIDE other's territory
Usually (though there are some exceptions) with their permission. It's usually to extend the range and decrease the response time of the US military, but it's also to bolster allies. They also bring a lot of business to those areas as the deployed soldiers leave base frequently to live life. They aren't hostile (to the host).
Not only with their permission. In many cases at the request of the host country. Plenty of countries would like to host a US base.
