ways the US has military influence

Question 1

one way the US has military influence is by having military bases across the world to support their allies against any threat.

Answer 1

These bases ensure a rapid response to any perceived threat, for example from Russia.

For example, the US has nearly 800 military bases in around 70 countries.

Question 2

another way the US has military influence is by being a founding member of NATO

Answer 2

This means that NATO members have agreed to support each other if one of the member countries is being attacked.

The USA is in a strong position to help in this situation as it spends the most money in the world on its armed forces ($648.8 billion).
