    so what? What if a whole airbase chooses a side or side is chosen as a result of inner struggle and it falls under control of the guys you don’t like? You talk as if it never happened before, take a look at recent civil wars, government doesn’t always keep absolute control over its own assets.

      You still would need the help of the entire government to keep the jets flying and armed. No fuel delivery? Cut out of satelite usage? No GPS? You’re fucked and then put in jail and/or to death, because the US have death penalty

        You’re refusing to understand what I’m telling you, instead you’re just continuing with “but aktchually”.

          What “you’re telling me” doesn’t make any sense. How on earth would holding a little airbase surrounded by the largest military force in the world, and a NATO member?
