“Nope” Well. According the map of NATO bases, yes. And on line articles such as http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...ary-bases.html

But all right, at least you don’t deny the rest. So, in term of Geo-strategy, even without Kazakhstan, you can recognise that it not Russia going around USA/NATO and in fact, NATO/USA/EU upsetting Russia, and this immediately after the collapse of USSR.

“From the fight against the Taliban after the WTC attacks.” & “WWII”: So? They don’t count as US bases?

“Russia is the biggest country on the planet and makes most other countries look like dwarves. The only way to not have bases anywhere near Russia is to have them in Africa, South America or Australia.” So many? So recent? And why do you need bases around it, if not for the capacity to attack in all flanks?
