"World Beyond War" showed an interactive map with US military bases around the world

The anti-war organization has marked on the map all US military bases.

"World BEYOND War has launched a new online tool that allows the user to view a globe pock-marked with 867 U.S. military bases in countries other than the United States." is stated on the official website of the organization.

This visual database has been designed to help journalists, researchers and individual readers understand the huge problem of over-preparation for war.

"U.S. bases in foreign countries often raise geopolitical tensions, support undemocratic regimes, and serve as a recruiting tool for militant groups and the governments U.S. presence bolsters. In other cases, foreign bases have made it easier for the United States to launch and execute disastrous wars, including those in Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Somalia, and Libya. <...> Estimates of the yearly cost to the U.S. of its foreign military bases range from $100 – 250 billion." according to World Beyond War.
