US military presence faces pushback globally

politics

The US military is facing significant challenges with its global basing strategy. In Japan, a US soldier has been charged with the rape of a minor in Okinawa, reigniting local opposition ([7]). Simultaneously, the US aims to identify new bases in West Africa following a planned withdrawal from Niger due to deteriorating relations with the local government ([5]). These events highlight widespread resistance to US military presence, influencing geopolitical stability and international relations. The withdrawal from Niger is especially critical as it impacts US counterterrorism efforts and its strategic stance against Russian encroachment in the region ([5]). Local Japanese opinion is highly unfavorable towards US bases, noting past incidents of crime and accidents involving US personnel ([7]).
