I fail to see how this would do anything but give the mouth foaming populist , and now imperialist apparentley MAGA crowd , an excuse to bomb the country.
They want an excuse to kill you.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Good. Play hardball with the stupid orange fuck. If he wants to play transactional games, then it's only fair that other countries negotiate with him in the same manner.
It's really necessary for everyone on the right. We've gotten away with so much for so long around the world that they literally act like we're the main characters and everyone else will just go along with whatever demented shit they decide to do. Without swift and tangible retaliation that sentiment would just get even more pronounced.
Honduras, like many poor Central American countries, relies heavily on income from citizens living abroad. About 20% of its income comes from Hondurans living in the US.
How much do they get paid for the military base?
One thing unmentioned, and I don't think this totally makes up for it but it's worth considering, is people stationed on the base will spend a lot of their pay in the local area. The areas around military bases can make a lot of money from military personnel, even if they aren't being paid directly.
They don't

~~Bald eagle~~ Red Tailed Hawk noises while flying away
Sorry I am from across the pond, apologies for getting the bird wrong
Bald eagle is the right bird, but the noise that's played on TV is not.
TIL
I hope they get paid for power and water. Those are neat commodities to provide to a military base; be a shame if someone were to switch them off.
Not sure it would offset this
The move would present grave risks for the small country, which depends on the United States as its largest trading partner and a source of humanitarian aid.
China will gladly step in to that role.
How much is it worth to you to not be forced into personally housing military soldiers in your home ?
Oh sweet summer child
Huh, well, they might want to brace for a very sudden coup in that country if history is any indication...
Xi Jinping is already buying sunscreen for his army...
