Litteraly no sources, only vibes.
I mean the Djibouti one is accurate. Just omitting that it’s a joint base between China, the west, Japan, etc. for a bunch of merchant mariners or whatever.
Yeah, there is ONE thing that’s kinda accurate, don’t change a lot to me.

probably
considered
one real base
Not to mention…they show China, but it isn’t highlighted as a “Country with a Chinese base”
They can’t even do the colors on the Very Real And Scary Imperialism Map™ right
And the base is located in a country that leases land for military bases like it’s candy to any country that asks lol
We’re getting reports that a Chinese Vicky 3 player thought his country probably should build a base on the Falkland Islands to project power. Is this funny to you, too, you insolent tankies?
So are they saying that having overseas military bases is a bad thing now, or?
They’re trying their damn hardest to conjure up some sort of whataboutism to throw at people who point this out
America, Britain and a handful of other military powers have a global network of bases that have existed for decades and are mostly legacies of empire, the second world war and the cold war.
“legacies of empire” lmao. “We’re not building new bases, just continuing to occupy 800 existing ones, so that totes makes our imperialism okay guys!”
