I suspect the Suez canal has something to do with it.

“..Why do we have a base there?..”

One of the reasons is that is the base from which much our drone activity for that hemisphere is centered. The question then is: have the Chinese infiltrated that operation as they have so much here in the continental USA???

To keep an eye on its colonies.

Anyone who uses bolts or screws knows that the 50 IQ ChiComm apes still haven’t mastered the art of annealing metal. You can’t go to war with fasteners that break apart under stress.

All the ChiComm apes can do is rattle their Sun Tzu cages and hope it scares weenies.

Why? Because The Butchers of Beijing have just about completed their years long effort to colonize Africa.Luckily they’ve almost always found cooperative leaders willing to take a few schillings under the table...

"pay according to how many you shot"

In Texas, that is called a Trophy Fee at the high fence ranches.

Okinawa, Guam, Midway, Diego Garcia and countless other places the US has that could ‘disrupt’ anything it wants in places accessible from our weapons there. What a dumbass question from IB.

China just seems to be sometimes doing a better job of it, like concentrating on nearby MAJOR shipping access points.....
Panama, at Djibouti, in its southern Indonesian shipping lanes, and likely something worked out for Suez when they need to do something... they could cause a LOT of problems for shipping (e.g., our economy). We could bomb and attack nearly anywhere... but to what end to help or hurt who? Only Xiden knows.
