We have to watch our southern border ever more carefully.
Lets be environmentally correct here. Make sure the base is left exactly the same as it was when we came in, destroy any runways, tear down all infrastructure including all buildings, power generation, and water supplies.

Great. South America will soon be crawling with chicoms.
The appropriate response would be to bring in a vast amount of concrete and steel I-beams, remove all buildings and plow deep, irregular 20’ trenches. Then fill the trenches with wet concrete, with I-beams sticking out of it at angles.
A pity the Monroe Doctrine no longer applies in our hemisphere. Soon, we will have a Chinese colony on our southern border whether that’s the border with Mexico or the former Mexico’s southern border.
Ecuador has just chosen sides in the inevitable conflict between the US and China. It will regret that decision.
Should we be “made” to leave the base, we should take every piece of equipment, (don’t care the cost”, destroy each and every building we constructed and completely destory the runways. Let the Equedorians build their own airport. We should leave NOTHING of worth or standing.
Time for a renewal of the Monroe Doctrine.
