That’s like letting your enemy move into your home. How stupid is that?

Ok
8:54 Holy crap, As a South korean, I had no idea we had THAT many US bases here. Coupled with the fact that the US can take control over the korean military in war(wartime OPCON), it might as well just be US territory.

You are US territory though, not de jure, but de facto.
事实上，南朝鲜也是美国军事基地。
It is already
I've got a friend who is in the Royal Navy and was stationed in Norway for a few months, he said that the day he realised the sheer mass of the US military and its budget was when he left his barracks for only a day and when he came back there was a massive US camp/ base set up right next to him. He couldn't believe just how fast all the equipment and barracks had been formed together although often speaks of the mental funding of the US.
lets goo usaa!!
The US has been focused on winning the logistical front of any conflict since before 1941. That doesn’t shock me very much.
@@DarkLobster69Yeah, winning the logistics and losing the war
@@AliAli-et7zy bro 💀
@@AliAli-et7zy Which one did we not win? Our wars for independence? Nam? Tactical win. Korea? It's in an indefinite state of ceasefire, no one "won". We're technically still at war. Our Civil War? Same case as the previously mentioned war. 91? Huh, that was a hand down... decisive victory.
And remember it's because of US that friendly Euros had a chance against Germany. We win.
We are the champions of the world because we have focused on itel and logistics almost from day one. #Sonofavet.
*Johnny gets a text*
US Department of Defence: “aye fam delete this rn”
They wouldn't do that bc of Streisand effect, instead they would do a PR blitz on MassMedia and newspaper opinion pieces that all the countries that have bases in them got into "willing partnerships", that way they can easily muddy up the conversation
they probably can, there is a ton of former NSA officials in Google
I like how the US DoD’s voice is the voice of a Toronto man
I was searching for this comment.
This is all public information not like he is exposing anything our enemies don't already know
I'm sure you already know this Johnny but there is a huge court case about a hit and run incident near a military base here in the UK. The victim was a British citizen and the accused perpetrator was the wife of an American who was stationed at a base. She fled citing diplomatic immunity and thus hasn't faced trial. Highlights the grey area of jurisdiction with regards to American bases.
She was a diplomats wife I think this says more about how the US views other countries laws rather than bases. Even though the husband had diplomatic immunity not everything you do should be immune to laws expecially in countries which have justice systems that are similar to ours
Oh I remember tagging
@@colek2470 Her husband was never a diplomat. They just don't want it to go before a UK criminal court in case it's officially disclosed that the place is not an RAF base but a US forward listening post.
@@cliffdunlop8891 her name was Anne Sacoolas she is married to Jonathan Sacoolas who is an alleged nsa spy that had diplomatic immunity he might of not been what you think a diplomat is but both the UK and US government accepted that he was a diplomat. Not all people who are “diplomats” are there for relations between two countries
Wouldn't have happened at the Swingson roundabout.
Hey @johnnyharris You missed one in Poland, Redzikowo - it is the most important military base for EU because of it's anti rocket system. I was actually a student there in middle school, the base is right behind it lol.

sooo.... you don’t seem to like the fact that the USA has military bases... cooky.....🇺🇸
@@mariacheebandidos7183 so....we just gonna ignore the Snowden documentary then.
Just came across your video although it was done a while ago. I was a transportation officer in the US Air Force. Actually there is a rather sophisticated system to identify every facility and ships at sea! Your count is about 100 short.
Some of these locations are part of communication networks. Some are intelligence gathering sights. Some are used to preposition equipment 'just in case'. Some are early warning facilities, like the one you mentioned in Greenland.
Very interesting. While serving with the US Air Force in the 1950s. I visited a few bases outside of the US. Also while serving with the Army in the 1960s. Thanks for the info. You have given me plenty of meat to record part of my life in the military to my grandchildren and great grandchildren. My own children are not aware also. PTL.
Wow how old are you
And then Us people:
I wonder why all people around the globe care about our elections

Because you guys have a shit load of influence, plus... it's a joke and the whole show around it, quite entertaining for us.. You pick the puppet on the left or the puppet on the right? What a choice.. hehe
Besides, for some reason all the internet talks about the election, even our local news and Trump did made it very special, this politics.. what a dick.
But in a way you are right, why oh why is the world so interested in America? I know so many other places that are just better places to be. I guess Americans are so loud, hard to ignore you guys.
@@billisultan6224 dont forget that now drones in Syria will have blm and refugees welcome signs
“Alright listen I’m not going to explain every single base.”
No seriously please continue and do all of them. This is fascinating.
He should really, at least make a list with the source that revealed its location. I was deployed to the Middle East before, and can already tell some of those dots don't have a US facility on them but are rather that of the host nation. Or it's a military reservation that between temporary exercises is just an empty field.
When doing dots on a map, it helps to have them outlined by black or white... Colorblindness makes it hard to see that color you used over a land colored map!
Just a lil accessibility tip!

@@rikka_ttbn You really believe the Pentagon does not know,LMAO
You must also calculate those bases that are officially of the hosting country but are actually used by the US military for example the Aviano air base in Italy
I have worked on US bases abroad and currently live privately in a European country that has US bases. While some people resent the presence of US military, it is rarely mentioned. They almost always say that it doesn't bother them personally, and that it helps provide work for the locals and injects a ton of money into the local economy. Some have actually complained when the bases were shut down, because it killed the local economy. So, I am sure we can find the same pros and cons going back to the Roman Empire, too.
"that it helps provide work for the locals and injects a ton of money into the local economy" - until the day comes when a Russian, N. Korean or Chinese nuclear warhead lands and all that economy instantly evaporates. Current U.S. administration does whatever possible to make it end in such a way.
Yeah right.. Germany and Japan want them out and do many other nations. We are a terrorist nation
Thank you. I'm from Germany, from the North so no bases around me (I really dont know what the dots are supposed to be, like theres supposed be one near Lübeck? News to me, we were in the British zone post WW2, Wikipedia also lists obly bases in the west and south where the US zone used to be) but I did hear about how some towns were nervous as fuck when Trumo threatened to pull out. The far right claims we are occupied as if it's against our will but in reality, it's like you said: Many don't care or are in favor.

I was at a basketball tournament and the schedule said my team was playing a German team (I’m from Californian and the tournament was in Las Vegas). When we walked in and saw the team, we were surprised bc they were all American and spoke no German and had no accent. We later found out it was a team of kids that lived on a American military base in Germany.
That’s crazy, life has to be odd for them though

I had very similar just reversed experience. We took part in the European scout Jamboree and were kinda suprised that there was a group of US boy-scouts. Yep, inhabitants of the military bases in Germany and yes, they didn´t speak any German...
About ten years ago I drove around Europe for a few months. Saw multiple vehicles - mostly in Germany, but to a lesser extent in other countries too - with license plates from various US states. Apparently, foreign-based US servicemen and members of their families ship their American vehicles over there in containers.
@@ThisHandleWasTheOnly1Available It’s the same here in the UK. Lot of people I work with brought their cars from home over here. I can buy a car from the states and have it shipped over here as well through the military’s automobile program.

I think the craziest part of most of our bases Is that they're in places we ravaged before. Okinawa for example, we destroyed that place & not to long ago I had a buddy stationed there. That's wild to think about.
The Japan bases have a horrible reputation still. Rape and violence to locals is still prevalent
The Japanese are the one that destroyed that place lmao
@@danielcoffin4410joint effort.
Part of the treaties that ended the war was partial US occupation (for many reasons) and they are free to ask us to leave whenever they want, but they’d rather have our base than be a part of China.
Excellent video. Thank you for creating. I grew up in Bremerton, WA near the Puget Sound naval shipyard. Which also includes a toxic Superfund site. (I have photos if you are interested). I’ve also been a military dependent. I lived in Okinawa while my husband was stationed on Futenma. My son was born at Camp Lester. Have stories about that experience. Okinawa is an occupied colony. Brutal. Yet so was PSNS. Though they provide jobs the pollution is horrific. They just leave it.

Hey John, love your work. You put a dot into the Czech Republic- as far as I know we do not have any US military installations here of any sort, in fact even larger convoys passing through are generally a rare occurance. If you have any source behind that dot please lmk, thanks!
Living on a military installation one thing I can see is that the military population largely supports the surrounding economy and boosts it a lot.
Varying from just food, drinking, houses/rent, barbers, clothing alterations, and general shopping these area around larger installations end up making decent amounts of money from all the military personnel and their spouses that live and shop in the area.
On the negative side this military population also brings much more traffic as tons of people are trying to go to and from the same area every day. Also depending on the base they cause a lot of surrounding noise pollution whether it be aircraft, explosions, helicopters, etc.
There are both negatives and positives to living next to military installations

Ten years ago, Iran did not have a military base. Iran’s military bases are now all over the Middle East. As long as you are willing to wage war, military bases can be established at any time. It is also possible to seize military bases from others. There is no international law under a state of war. Where do you want to build a military base depends on how strong your military strength is
@@sosoable Well, the whole reason of the existence of military bases abroad is to make your opposition’s operations less or even non cos-efficient.
Yes, you can take over military bases by force, but will you have enough money to maintain all those bases? They don’t even have much strategic values to you cause, again, the idea of military bases is to make your enemy spend more money on operations in the area.
@@HenryTitor There is a problem with your logic. Whoever has more military bases will spend more money. China did not start a war, and China does not consume money. Americans are now expansionist. Americans consume more

That’s why it’s called kingdom of Spain
Im done with you
First minute of this video: if the Spanish Armada had succeeded.
JAJAJAJA la LEGION, they have a goat

Yeah, military bases is one of those things that if any country could do it, they’d be freaking doing it.
It’s not solely a US thing.
US is not inherently evil (not that JH is saying it is) as some people have adopted as their opinion.
The world can thank its lucky stars that the US has military bases everywhere, not Russia (for example), or...you know...ISIS.
Thank you for your information where I have known Spain have a army base in the U.S.A, here in Kenya we have 4 U.S military base in lamu, Mombasa,wajir and Nanyuki counties . thank🎉 you 😊
Very interesting I love the hi res thank you
Bruh this guy had clearance to all military bases across the world and he didn’t go Area 51.
LOL secret not even close he needs cosmic to get in there.
lmaoo
Luke you know there is 13 class above top secret. He could not enter even CIA HQ with that clearance.
He didn't have access to every single base across the world, he had OF-1 clearance (a clearance even a junior enlisted has) to NATO bases that were designated for OF-1 Clearance. Which is pretty low.
Your dog could get a secret clearence lmao its not even that cool
I was living in Egypt awhile back and my best friend's father was an engineer in the US navy there. We used to go to the military base and man, it was like I skipped flying a plane and took a camel to America. We had dunkin donuts, subway, grocery stores with only American products and only takes dollars. The houses and building complex on the bases were so different than Egypt's architecture that you really felt confused when you went back and forth in and out of the bases. There were even cars only found in America like mustangs and acuras.
Where’s the military base exactly located in Egypt
Johnny, I used to take classes with David Vine 10 years ago as an AU student. Did you talk to him about his views on military spending?
Not everywhere , I just checked inside my fridge and I can confirm there isn’t any US military there 😂
Are you sure? Did you check with a microscope?
There's probably NSA in your fridge though ))
Fun fact: When Spain, my country, joined NATO, we made a deal that consisted in the US removing its bases as we entered the organization. The bases are still there and no one has even tried to do anything about it
This is insane, and freaks me out
At least you dont have nuke in their base… 🙂🇮🇹
🤷♂️
USA is exceptional. Before WW2 we (the Hungarians) tried to join the Allies but the USA told us they don't want to upset the Germans. After WW2 the USA told us if we pay a bunch of money they make sure Hungary will be a democracy. We paid the money and they left the country leaving it for the Soviet Union. :)
Also in 1956 they promissed support if we rebell against the Russians, we did it and they took over Suez, the americans knew Russia can't intervene in Suez if they have to intervene in Hungary.
You have to love them, they are just so dishonest and sometimes evil while they preach about freedom and democracy.
@@Zodroo_Tint bro we didnt take the suez what are you talking about
Accountants and analysts: “So, how much money did you spend last year?”
U.S. Department of Defense: “Yes.”
That is another thing. They used to publish this. The last report I ever saw on it, as a Contracting Officer, was around 2005. At that time we outspent by almost double, the next highest spending government in the world. It was astronomical and it has increased over a thousand fold since then.
Sun Tzu would be happy with that answer
@@benbog2 Gotta love Sun Tzu, shows there was great wisdom in ancient times. Common sense does not change, but people do become less and less moral over time.
We spent ALL the money 🤣
According to Donald Rumsfeld, during and after the invasion of Iraq, there was $2 Trillion of the Pentagon budget, that could not be traced.
Proud to be indian no US or any foreign miltary base in our country

I live in Bakersfield CA, a city that has no major bases, but it is in the middle of all of them, like you can’t drive two hours in ANY direction without hitting an air base, besides going south towards LA.
Anyways, I don’t live close to an air base, but almost every day I get F-35s passing directly over my house at a low altitude going towards Lemoore, about 120 miles away. It can be very annoying for most people, I personally love jet fighters so I don’t mind.
In case anyone is wondering, that Northern base in Greenland is called Thule Air Base. It was established during the Cold War and is part of the Distant Early Warning or DEW Line for detecting incoming missiles.
While we were voting for Trump Taiwan was fighting off China using DEW We sold them.
And was built and maintaimed without denmarks aproval
when it was upgraded later on, it mistaked the moon for an attack
No one's mentioned the word *_Nuclear_* here yet.
hmmm... The Nazis emerged from an organization called the Thule Society, and then there was Operation Paperclip, which brought Nazi scientists over to work for the US government and military.

imagine there were hundreds journalists in the world like Johnny Harris.
There are. Most of them work for places like the Wall Street Journal.
There are. Seek and you shall find.
There are thousands of real journalists. Only thing is, that the outlets wont buy their material anymore. Entertainment is where the money is.
there are...
There are 10s of millions with similar beliefs and goals, you just gotta focus on what it is your truly searching for. Johnny Harris is just one of those people. Ones who would search for facts and the truth of the world so we can understand it are what we need.

Hey I am from Germany and I am a Bit scared because they are a lots of big military bases all across my country (I live 5km away from Rammstein in a small village(Erzenhausen)) and if a war happened Tease bases are priority targets vor other countries that have like Nuklear weapons ore something,
I believe a war is unlikely but the situation with Ukrainian and Russland is a bit scary
very good and interesting video and sry vor my bad English
Remember the song red balloons
Your English is fine! A few mistakes, but perfectly understandable.
Looks like Guantanamo in Cuba its not in the map, but i think its just the point out of the line. Guantanamo is huge!
there is another US military base in the south of Spain, in "Rota". My father used to work there. It's literally a small US city, pretty crazy
I used to live there
@James Erik Haryanto IPH Student no,if ccp know it, they will attack Taiwan before it. That is balance of us and China.
@James Erik Haryanto IPH Student maybe that will cause by the ww3
@James Erik Haryanto IPH Student well, there *USED* (emphasis on this) to be one there. Until 1979 when the US switched from the ROC to the PRC as the new China.
In Greece, you missed the most infamous one, "Souda Bay", on the island of Crete. The largest and most prominent naval base for the United States and NATO in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. Although designated as a Greek base officially, or as NATO, everybody here knows it's an American base, heavily used for all the Middle East operations.
I use Crete as a base for a watch tower in my world map for Age of Empires 2, and any cavalry passing through Egypt can get hit by it. :-)
@@scintillam_dei Yeah, it's a strategic island. Uncle Sam knows it!
Souda bay! Home away from home for a lot of my navy friends.
Thank god there is no Military base of Usa in india!
here in greece there are LOADS of bases,with the most important the souda bay as you said but NATO uses many more (tanagra,achialos,aktion etc.)
That intro gave me chills. Holy cow
Ask the Okinawans on what it’s like to live near a US base. Pretty sure they can sum it up.

Nobody:
The pentagon asking where their military base is:
Benjamin Franklin Village in Mannheim, Germany is no longer there. Not sure if that was updated, but I went to high school there, and it was closed about a decade later in the 2010s.

Or doing their job for them because they are clueless. This should have scared people long ago when it began. Because it is too late the disease of incompetence, complacency and corruption is now embedded in every federal agency of our government, it should not surprise anyone that the government has obliterated the U.S. Constitution and doesn't know what it needs to know in order to protect our country even if there remain those who would have liked to.
Having military bases scattered around the world is greatly offseted by the introductions of modern weaponry. Stealth bomber, stealth submarine ultra fast missiles in a synchronize attack can neutralize all these at once.
Meanwhile me an U.S Airman only knew about the existence of like 5% of these bases 😂
There’s multiple reasons, the US being in power the way it is, is probably for the best. Can’t imagine china being in power of the world

How do you cope with the idea of having people from your country legally threatening millions of lives around the world with no push back solely due to your willingness to kill everyone? It's mind blowing!
