@BuchananLiz @BuchananLiz It would be difficult to classify the three year-round U.S. scientific stations in Antarctica that are led by civilians from the National Science Foundation as military bases that are just land for missiles, which appears to be what this poster purports to count.

🇺🇸 AMERICA EVERYWHERE: 800+ US BASES ACROSS THE GLOBE - AND COUNTING The US isn’t just the world’s biggest military power, it’s also the most well-traveled. From Germany to Japan, from Djibouti to Colombia, Washington has boots (and bombs) on every continent but Antarctica. Germany hosts 119 bases, Japan 120, and even Spain gets 2, all part of America’s never-ending "we got this" strategy. The Pentagon calls it “security.” Others might call it real estate with missiles.

#OnThisDay in 1961, the Antarctic Treaty came into force. Signed in 1959 by 12 nations active during the IGY (1957–58), it now has 58 Parties.
The Treaty ensures Antarctica is used for peaceful purposes only, with freedom of scientific research and open sharing of results.
