That seems to be the job of our military. And it's a job that keeps growing. Since the mid-20th-century we have had bases in Germany, Japan, South Korea, Italy, and the
UK. In the 21st century we have built bases in Bahrain, Djibouti, Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia,
Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo, and Kyrgyzstan. We also have a military presence of some kind in Egypt,
Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Oman,
Pakistan, Syria, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, U.A.E.,
Uzbekistan, and Yemen.
Since 2001, the US defense budget has increased by more than a trillion dollars, not including the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. How much is the sequester cutting from the budget?
