And i don�t even understand why other countries let the us build bases on their land. It�s pretty much same as you would give the whole middle east permission to build training camps around usa.

simple, because out esteem president or one of his lackies will call up a leader of a country, say "hey, we wanna build a base and you are gonna let us or else we will sanction your ass into the stone age."
