The Special Relationship is now broken beyond any repair and the US is highly probably lining up it's personnel, based on UK soil, to bully our European neighbours.

The US president speaks with forked tongue.

I think Starmer is really ,really bad. Chinese embassy in the middle of London will make it very easy for his Communist mates to spy on you.

Did you not know that there is already an Embassy in Portland Place which has been there since 1877 Nanna8
I am sure that the infrastructure for obtaining information by both countries has already been in place for a very long time.

I think we also need to be worried about what China is doing in Africa, Kenya in particular.
We have a military presence over there but for how much longer?
The Chinese are so much cleverer than the Russians and Mr T. They do things quietly.

*The problem here is that its a provocative and unhelpful O/P*
(in the style of Trump himself)

It asks us how to react to a situation that does not exist.

It would be more helpful to ask how do we think and feel about US bases, given the new regime in Washington, not starting from a situation where there is total breakdown.

What would we like to see, what we might find unacceptable, and so on.

I agree.

Most US bases have been closed, only a few remain, many here in East Anglia. Turning over to public parkland is effective use of land.

Spending a bit of US money here. I'd think that was acceptable.

It appears forces aren't forced to bring family. Also acceptable.
