  This is what I was saying to someone a couple of weeks ago when Musk was talking about liberating the UK.

  They don’t need to invade us, they’re already here.

  To say nothing of the wider hypothetical conflict, wouldn’t the US bases themselves be trivial to overrun? I doubt they’re set up to defend themselves from the host country.

  Dont they technically own those bases? They ones i remember were very explicitly named RAF (Royal Air Force), don’t know about other US branches presence

    If they’re full of US military personnel, does it matter who legally owns the land? 😉

  The chances of a future where the UK and USA go to war where those military bases aren’t long since gone is nearly impossible.
