Back in the days, your neighbour having foreign troops on their territory was regarded as threateniing.
Indeed, you'd regard your neighbour as being "occupied".
Hello, NATO, having fun?
Got enough bases and advisers - enough "spread"?
Hello USA - 800 bases? Keeping the world safe....?
To understand how wars start, follow timelines.
Most people agree, surprisingly, that WW2 started with the Versailles Treaty - look at what happened to Germany and Poland's borders - what on earth were the allies thinking?
Allied mobilisation - in the real sense - started in 1938.
