Like we stan post-Castro Cuba for being a successful socialist state, but I never see any criticisms of them hosting a US torture facility. Any talking points around this one?

    In the 2009 election, the opposition in Japan won by a landslide. One of their main campaign promises was to close a military base on Okinawa. 1 year later, the prime minister resigned because he failed to do that.

    Not even the big allies of the US can do what they want when it comes to the military.
