Foreign Military base in Mongolia. Options

[Erdene]

India expressed an interest in Mongolia, the USA has already listening and other devices posted in Mongolia. When Rumsfeld visited Mongolia, he was asked whether they were interested in establishing a base in Mongolia......he said something on the lines of “We’ve had no discussions along that line, and I know of no intention to do that,” it isn't an straight NO or an YES answer.

There was also talk of building a UN training center for Peacekeepers.

What do you think???

Obviously the Chinese may not be too happy.

Looking at the experiences of S.Korea, Iraq etc it isn't a good thing that we have this foreign military bases. It is a beginning of taking over process. Mongolia is the safest country world therefore what is there for us, completely no need.

UN training center for Peacekeepers would be a great thing.

I doubt U.S. bases in Korea take any part in a "take-over" process. I doubt so about Iraq too.

And I most certainly doubt Mongolia is the safest country. No country bordering China is safe in the long run. Mongolia either needs a very powerful army or powerful allies, and to have powerful allies you don't necessarily have to have foreign bases.

lol always looking to for a chance to bash china.

[Happy Asian]

Mongolia shouldn't let foreign bases unless there are money involved.

There are a lot of things to "bash" China about from a non-biased perspective. And besides, what's so "bashing" about considering China a threat?

It's official report that Mongolia is among the first 3 safest country in world, for a tourism right now. But I'm certain that we could do without any USA miltary bases in Mongolia although it's good to have powerful allies for anyone.
S.Korea is always protesting against USA base which in right center of the Seoul and your country has to pay outrageous amount of loan to USA. Maybe it's not physically taking over in other ways but simular process they've done. In Iraq USA base getting bigger & bigger, I've heard they making new project of making huge base 4 times big as Vatican city.

Oh, so you meant it as a matter of domestic security, not national security.

The majority of Koreans support the ROK-US alliance as well as the US military presense, and it's only a few well organized radicals who make those protests repeatedly. And originally, the US base in Seoul was not in the "right center". In the past, that area was well outside the city walls of Seoul, but it became the "right center" as Seoul expanded. Anyways, the US base in Seoul will be moved to Pyungtaek.

Do u really think that you need US base in your country?

[SantaKlaws]

Yes, mainly because of North Korea. US troops in Korea have some important roles in South Korea's battle plans for a North Korean invasion. After reunification, perhaps American military presense won't be as necessary, though ROK-US alliance will be retained for certain to keep China in check.

It's amazing what nuclear forces have in N.Korea but I don't think they would try to invade S.Korea by force? It should be done with peace, you'r brothers after all.

real military powers never allow foreign bases/troops to be in their country.

I agree with Santa. No one bordering China is safe if they decide to get desperate and/or crazy.

Santa is a crazy right winged Korean who thinks all non koreans are and will be potential enemies of Korea. Agreeing with a nut like that is detrimental to your overall development as a genuine human being.

No, he mostly thinks people like you are potential enemies of Korea. I'm not a Korean and I get along very well with Santa.

I don't think Mongolia and Russia are potential threats to Korea. Rather, I see them as good potential strategic allies.

Why what on earth would make you say that? Really though this whole China threat is getting really old and rhetorical. China's main goal is economic dominance not military.
