Kinh tế - An ninh : Châu Âu trước thách thức Mỹ giảm quân số

TẠP CHÍ KINH TẾ

Hoa Kỳ đã thông báo kế hoạch giảm quân số tại châu Âu, nơi mà từ sau Thế Chiến Thứ Hai, Washington đã thiết lập các căn cứ thường trực trải dài từ Groenland xuống đến tận Địa Trung Hải. Gần 40 % lính Mỹ đồn trú ở hải ngoại tập trung tại châu Âu,  nhất là tại Đức, Ý và Tây Ban Nha. Sau Chiến tranh Lạnh, Mỹ đã thiết lập các căn cứ quân sự tại nhiều nước đông Âu như Rumani, Ba Lan, Bulgari và cũng đã mở rộng địa bàn tại vùng Baltic. Những kế hoạch thu hẹp sự hiện diện quân sự của Mỹ tại châu Âu là một thách thức lớn đối với các đối tác của Hoa Kỳ tại châu lục này cả về kinh tế lẫn an ninh. Từ đầu tháng 5/2026 bộ trưởng Quốc Phòng Mỹ, rồi tổng thống Hoa Kỳ liên tiếp thông báo kế hoạch « cắt giảm quân số tại châu Âu ». Hôm 18/06/2026 Lầu Năm Góc cho biết đang « xét lại » việc triển khai lực lượng tại các nước châu Âu thành viên NATO (Liên Minh Bắc Đại Tây Dương). Từ Anh Quốc đến Thổ Nhĩ Kỳ, từ Iceland đến Rumani, nơi Hoa Kỳ đã đặt những cơ sở quân sự, nước nào cũng lo ngại. Đứng đầu trong số này là Đức, nơi có hơn 30 cơ sở quân sự của Mỹ đã hoạt động từ 70-80 năm nay và khoảng 50.000 lính Mỹ đang đồn trú đã thực sự trở thành một yếu tố trong đời sống xã hội và kinh tế của nền kinh tế số một châu Âu này. Đức và lo ngại mất một phần trong số 50.000 quân nhân Mỹ Ramstein, miền tây nam nước Đức, là căn cứ không quân lớn nhất của Hoa Kỳ ở hải ngoại. Căn cứ này là cả « một thành phố trong một thành phố » với trường học, bệnh viện ... dành riêng cho các quân nhân Mỹ và gia đình. Rất nhiều đường phố ở Ramstein mang tên các vị tổng thống Mỹ. Tại các cửa hàng, người ta cũng có thể thanh toán bằng đô la bên cạnh đồng euro. Phóng sự trên đài phát thanh Pháp France Inter của thông tín viên Sébastien Baer từ căn cứ quân sự Mỹ tại thị trấn Vilseck cho thấy quyết định của Washington cắt giảm 5.000 lính Mỹ tại Đức là một tai họa:  « Một góc nhỏ của nước Mỹ, thị trấn Vilseck của vùng Bayern, đông nam nước Đức từ hơn 80 năm nay gắn bó với sự hiện diện của quân đội Hoa Kỳ. Với khoảng 6.500 dân cư, Vilseck là nơi mà một lữ đoàn của Mỹ đóng quân, thế nhưng sự hiện diện này có thể sẽ chấm dứt, do Donald Trump thông báo sẽ rút 5.000 lính Mỹ trong thời gian tới. Nào là nước ngọt Coca-Cola, nào là bia Mỹ và sốt BBQ chồng chất ngay lối vào một siêu thị. Travis, một quân nhân Mỹ 27 tuổi từ bang Texas đến, đang chất hàng vào xe, anh nói : ‘Tôi được điều đến đây đã 9 tháng. Tối rất thích nơi này. Phong cảnh ở đây rất đẹp. Tôi thích các món ăn bản địa như xúc -xích, thịt thăn chiên bột. Người dân ở đây thì thân thiện, đi lại cũng dễ dàng. Ở Texas phải lái xe hàng giờ để đi từ nơi này đến nơi khác. Tại đây chỉ chỉ cần 5 phút là tôi đến được một công viên xinh đẹp. Tôi đang học tiếng Đức với ứng dụng Duolingo'. Travis tìm được một ngôi nhà trên sườn đồi của thành phố, nhà có vườn. Mười ba ngàn quân nhân Mỹ đóng quân ở khu vực này. Từ sau Đệ Nhị Thế Chiến, kinh tế địa phương phụ thuộc vào sự hiện diện của quân đội Mỹ. Là chủ một tiệm tạp hóa nhỏ của gia đình đã hoạt động từ những năm 1950, Katrin Kredle kể lại : ‘Một trong những người lính Mỹ đầu tiên đến mua hàng của bà ngoại tôi là danh ca Elvis Presley. Khi đang nhập ngũ, anh đến đây mua chuối. Bà tôi rất tự hào được phục vụ một khách hàng như anh. (…) Những người Mỹ đã hoàn toàn hòa nhập vào cuộc sống ở đây. Trẻ nhỏ đi học ở trường hay được gửi trong các nhà trẻ, chúng tham gia các câu lạc bóng đá, các hội đoàn hóa trang trong mùa lễ Carnaval… Rất nhiều người lấy vợ Đức, họ sống ở đây. Thậm chí ở lại hẳn một khi xuất ngũ ». Do vậy đối với cả thành phố này, thông báo Mỹ rút 5.000 quân khỏi nước Đức là một bất ngờ. Chỉ riêng căn cứ quân sự tại Vilseck mỗi năm đem về 700 triệu euro doanh thu cho chính quyền quyền đia phương. Valantis, 32 tuổi, vừa từ Anh Quốc đến đây mở một hiệu ăn, chủ yếu để phục vụ các thực khách Mỹ. Nhà hàng của ảnh chỉ cách căn cứ Rose Barracks vài trăm mét. Anh nói : ‘Chúng tôi đã thu xếp tất cả để phục vụ các quân nhân Mỹ, chiều theo khẩu vị của họ. Chúng tôi có món bánh mì kẹp thịt ba chỉ, sốt BBQ và thịt heo xé phay … Nếu người Mỹ bỏ đi thi mọi chuyện sẽ kết thúc. Nhà hàng phải đóng cửa. Tháng trước họ ra nước ngoài một tháng để tập luyện, lượng khách của chúng tôi lập tức giảm đi 70 %' ».   Nói cách khác, chỉ cần Mỹ rút bớt quân khỏi Đức thì sẽ ảnh hưởng đến rất nhiều lĩnh vực kinh tế của người dân địa phương, không chỉ có doanh thu của giới tiểu thương, mà còn đến cả thị trường địa ốc của những thành phố như Stuttgart, hay Kaiserslautern …. cũng bị tác động lây. Việc làm của hàng ngàn, thậm chí hàng chục ngàn người tại những địa phương có căn cứ của Mỹ đều sẽ bị ảnh hưởng.  Một kế hoạch được báo trước  Thực ra từ cuối 2025 Nhà Trắng đã báo trước « rà soát lại toàn bộ và sẽ bố trí lại » sự hiện diện quân sự của Mỹ tại Châu Âu cũng như trên toàn thế giới. Cũng cuối năm ngoái Washington nêu lên khả năng giảm 1.000 quân đang đồn trú tại Rumani. Ngoài thông báo rút 5.000 lính Mỹ tại các căn cứ quân sự ở Đức, giữa tháng 5/2026, Lầu Năm Góc vào giờ chót đã hoãn lại chương trình triển khai 4.000 quân sáng Ba Lan. Theo giới quan sát được báo Le Monde trích dẫn, cho dù những thông báo từ phía chính quyền Trump gây hoang mang cho các đối tác châu Âu nhưng cho đến hiện tại Lầu Năm Góc vẫn duy trì khoảng 80.000 binh sĩ trên Lục Địa Già. ngay cả trong trường hợp giảm quân số, chỉ để thu hẹp hiện diện quân sự của Mỹ đang từ 80.000 xuống còn 76.000 lính thì « chính quyền Trump cần có sự chấp thuận của Quốc Hội ». Trên đài truyền hình Arte của Pháp và Đức, chuyên gia quân sự giảng dạy tại đại học Sorbonne Guillaume Lasconjarias nhắc lại, trước Donald Trump, tổng thống Barack Obama từ 2014 đã chủ trương giảm sự hiện diện quân sự của Mỹ tại châu Âu. Riêng trong giai đoạn 2022-2023, khi Nga đưa quân xâm chiếm Ukraina, nhất thời dưới chính quyền Biden, quân số Mỹ tại châu Âu được tăng lên tới 100.000. Tác động về an ninh Nghịch lý ở đây là vào lúc căng thẳng về địa chính trị tại nhiều nơi trên thế giới không ngừng gia tăng, không chỉ vì chiến tranh Iran và xung đột Ukraina, thì Hoa Kỳ lại thông báo các kế hoạch thu hẹp sự hiện diện quân sự. Về câu hỏi Mỹ giảm quân tại châu Âu sẽ dẫn tới những hệ quả nào về an ninh đối với lục địa này, chuyên gia về quân sự Jean- Baptiste Noé chủ nhiệm tạp chí chuyên đề Conflits lưu ý, ở châu Âu, Hoa Kỳ hiện có hơn 20 căn cứ quân sự thường trực, phần lớn tại các nước Tây Âu như Ý, Đức, Tây Ban Nha hay Anh Quốc … Bên cạnh đó, lính Mỹ được triển khai tại các căn cứ của các nước châu Âu mà chủ yếu là ở các quốc gia từng thuộc Liên Xô cũ. Trên đài truyền hình Arte nhà nghiên cứu Aurélien Duchêne thuộc cơ quan tư vấn Eurocréative, đặc trách các khu vực Trung và Đông Âu, giải thích vì sao Hoa Kỳ là quốc gia đã thiết lập một mạng lưới các căn cứ ở hải ngoại « dày đặc » tại châu Âu: « Các căn cứ quân sự của Mỹ ở hải ngoại đóng một vai trò kép : sự hiện diện của lĩnh Mỹ tại một quốc gia như Estonia không làm Matxcơva thay đổi chiến lược nếu Nga muốn xâm chiếm quốc gia vùng Baltic này, thế nhưng Điện Kremlin cũng phải cân nhắc rất kỹ khi biết rằng can thiệp vào Estonia nơi có các đơn vị của Mỹ đồn trú tức là sẽ đụng độ trực tiếp với Hoa Kỳ. Nói cách khác, các căn cứ của Mỹ trong trường hợp này là một công cụ răn đe. Bên cạnh đó các căn cứ quân sự của Hoa Kỳ tại châu Âu còn đóng vai trò hậu cần, là các trạm tiếp liệu … cho các chiến dịch ở ngoài lãnh thổ Mỹ, như trong trường hợp xung đột tại Trung Đông hiện nay (…) Căn cứ Ramstein tại Đức có thể ví như một ‘hàng không mẫu hạm'khổng lồ : đây là nơi có hai sân bay quân sự với khoảng 600 chiến đấu cơ đủ loại mà Hoa Kỳ đang sử dụng trong chiến tranh Iran. Sau cùng, việc thiết lập một căn cứ quân sự thường trưc tại một quốc gia còn cho phép Washington xây dựng một mối bang giao vững chắc với quốc gia đó ». 128 hay 800 căn cứ quân sự ở hải ngoại ? Theo báo cáo chính thức của Hạ Viện Hoa Kỳ, Mỹ đặt 128 căn cứ quân sự tại 51 quốc gia trên thế giới. Nguyên giáo sư David Vine, trường American University tại Washington, cho rằng con số này thấp hơn thực tế rất nhiều. Theo thẩm định của ông, Mỹ có từ 750 đến 800 cơ sở ở hải ngoại « bên cạnh rất nhiều  thực thể khác được xây dựng trong vòng bí mật ». Những cơ sở đó đôi khi chỉ là nơi đặt các hệ thống radar để theo dõi.  Như vừa nói, 50.000 lính Mỹ đang đồn trú tại Đức; Tây Ban Nha, với hai căn cứ, là nơi tiếp nhận hơn 3.000 quân có nhiệm vụ giám sát khu vực eo biển Gibralta và châu Phi ; Căn cứ của Hoa Kỳ tại Sctoland, Anh Quốc chủ yếu có nhiệm vụ thu thập thông tin tình báo. Sự hiện diện của Mỹ trong vùng biển Baltic trước hết là công cụ răn đe nhắm vào nước Nga. Còn các cơ sở trên lãnh thổ Ba Lan, hay Cộng Hòa Sec, Bulgari … là nhằm củng cố sườn đông cho NATO. Thổ Nhĩ Kỳ, Hy Lạp và Kosovo là những địa điểm để quan sát toàn khu vực Địa Trung Hải và Trung Âu.

On today's show, former A Public Affair host, Zoltán Grossman, is back behind the mic in conversation with political anthropologist, David Vine. They talk about the on-again-off-again war between the US and Iran, the proliferation of US military bases around the world, and the scale of the US military budget. Vine's scholarship shows how US military bases are the linchpin of the expansion of the US empire, creating the conditions for perpetual war. Gulf States have hosted US bases for decades, making them targets in the US war with Iran. US bases encircle the globe and more are planned for construction in the Philippines. Contrary to the claims that these bases protect US democracy, in reality, they ramp up geopolitical tensions and harm the local communities they impose on. With an erratic and dangerous president at home, Vine says that we need to start closing down these bases because they continue to operate as launch pads for unjust wars. Close the bases, bring the troops home, and build up diplomacy, says Vine. With the $100 billion the US spends on these bases, Vine says we could be funding universal healthcare and free college education.  David Vine is a political anthropologist and author of a trilogy of books about war and peace, including The United States of War: A Global History of America's Endless Conflicts, from Columbus to the Islamic State, Base Nation: How U.S. Military Bases Abroad Harm America and the World, and Island of Shame: The Secret History of the U.S. Military Base on Diego Garcia. Vine was a professor of anthropology at American University in Washington, DC from 2006 to 2024. He recently co-authored the Project On Government Oversight report The True Total U.S. Military Budget.  Featured image of a map of US military bases in the Middle East via Wikimedia Commons (CC0 1.0).

As Americans celebrate the 4th of July and the many events marking the 250th anniversary of creation of the United States, the country's founding ideals of liberty, democracy, and freedom are once again taking centre stage. But there's another story running through America's history - one not of peace interrupted by war, but of a nation shaped by almost continuous conflict. David Vine, author of the United States of War, argues that war has become deeply embedded not only in American foreign policy, but in its politics, economy, and national identity. So, as the US reflects on 250 years of independence, we ask whether the culture of perpetual war has become one of the defining features of the American experience. He joins Pat to discuss.

“U.S. shipment of 'lethal aid' reaches Ukraine amid Russia tensions,” NBC News reported in January 2022. “U.S. adopting 'deterrence posture' as aircraft carrier heads towards Israel,” France 24 announced in October 2023. The same month, The Hill warned about “Nutrition: The national security threat no one is talking about.”   This is part two of our two-part episode on the language of war. Last week, we discussed terms like “boots on the ground” and “military footprint;” “precision” or “targeted airstrikes;” “terrorism” and the very Orwellian phrase “enemy noncombatant.”   If you haven't listened to that episode, we definitely encourage you to do so. On this episode, we examine more of the most insidious terms that U.S. media and government officials use to sanitize military aggression worldwide, how this is affecting coverage of Israel's nonstop murderous bombing of Gaza, and discuss how we all can and should use clearer, more accurate terms to describe the real human stakes of state violence.   Our guests are Maha Hilal and David Vine.  

Scanner School - Everything you wanted to know about the Scanner Radio Hobby

David Vine returns to the podcast this week to share alternative uses to Ham Radios. Not only can you use VHF and UHF Ham Radios to talk and monitor amateur radio frequencies, but you can use most of them to monitor outside the amateur radio band.  This means many ham radios can also be used as basic scanner radios. Frequencies that can be monitored will vary by make and model, but for the most part, expect to be able to monitor the VHF and UHF public safety bands with a VHF or UHF ham radio. Setting up scan lists and alpha tagging frequencies are most likely different from what you are used to with your scanner, but if you learn how to use a radio within its limits, you may find that having a ham radio and using it as a receiver, could really add value to your radio collection. And yes, I do give Baofeng radios a virtual poke in the ribs, but if you can use a radio like that or something similar to monitor a single or short list of conventional analog channels, then that could free up your scanner to monitor other activity.   And the more radios you have monitoring less frequencies, then the more activity you'll hear and enjoy. ====================================

“Israel Called Them ‘Precision' Strikes. But Civilian Homes Were Hit, Too.,” The New York Times equivocated back in May 2023. “US Military Footprint in Australia Expands to Counter China,” Bloomberg announced in July 2023. “NATO to launch biggest military exercise since Cold War,” the Financial Times reported in September 2023. Far too often, media accept and parrot the terminology of the Pentagon, never pausing to consider how deceptive and pernicious this language may be. War reportage is regularly littered with euphemisms, metaphors, jargon, and esoteric acronyms that obscure the enormity of the warfare and war crimes waged and backed by the US, warping public perceptions of the violence happening throughout the world in service of US empire. Some major news outlets, such as the New York Times, have adopted policies not to use terms like “enhanced interrogation techniques,” a Bush-era phrase used to sanitize the committing, sanctioning and outsourcing of literal torture by the US government. More recently, the BBC has said it will no longer use the term “terrorist,” as it is “a loaded word, which people use about an outfit they disapprove of morally.” But, troublingly, many loaded, euphemistic words and phrases remain in the vocabulary of leading news media, painting a woefully inaccurate and incomplete picture of both the past and the current state of US-led and US-backed violence around the world. On this episode, Part I of a two-part series on the language of war, we'll examine five of the 10 most insidious terms that US media and government officials use to sanitize military aggression worldwide, discussing how journalists, writers, and others in media can use terms that are clearer and more representative of the human stakes of war. Next week, we'll complete the list of 10 with Part II. Our guests are Maha Hilal and David Vine.

I want to welcome a great radio friend, David Vine back to the podcast this week. David has a wealth of information when it comes to the radio hobby and has many presentations that he's prepared for multiple radio groups. David returns this week to share a presentation about how frequencies are distributed and organized here in the United States, and across the world. Frequency Allocation is important, because it not only helps vendors create RF Hardware for certain end users.  For example, transmitters, radios, antennas, and back end and interoperable equipment.   Allocation is also important so that adjacent countries can plan between each other and even satellite uplinks and downlinks can remain on spectrum that will not be interfered with. Allocation is important when it comes to global communication with both aviation and marine traffic. I love having David on the podcast, and I hope that he returns again soon to share another presentation. ====================================

This is a book launch event for Ray Acheson's "Abolishing State Violence A World Beyond Bombs, Borders, and Cages," available now from Haymarket Books. https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1883-abolishing-state-violence Connecting movements for social justice with ideas for how activists can support and build on this analysis and strategy, Ray Acheson will share their thoughts on the many mutually supportive abolition movements, each enhanced by a shared understanding of the relationship between structures of violence and a shared framework for challenging them on the basis of their roots in patriarchy, racism, militarism, settler colonialism, and capitalism. Speakers: Ray Acheson is director of disarmament at the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom and a steering group member of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, which was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2017 for its work to highlight the humanitarian impacts of nuclear weapons and work with governments to develop the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. Acheson is the author of Banning the Bomb, Smashing the Patriarchy. David Vine is Professor of political anthropology at American University in Washington, DC. David is the author of a trilogy of books about war and peace including the recently released, The United States of War: A Global History of America's Endless Conflicts, from Columbus to the Islamic State (University of California Press, 2020).

The Costs of War project is an interdisciplinary group of scholars who have stepped in where the government has often failed, working to measure the true financial, human, political, and environmental costs of America's post-9/11 wars.  On this episode Sarah Baldwin '87 talks with Stephanie Savell, one of the project's directors, about how the organization started and why its work is more necessary than ever.

The world watches as Afghanistan falls disastrously under Taliban rule, while this week the United States commemorates the twentieth year since 15 Saudi Arabian nationals (and a few others) attacked the twin towers in New York. Three thousand civilians died in the 9-11 bombings, but up to 4.5 million people have died in America's endless wars since then. Australia has joined these wars of choice that have cost national budgets, caused vast environmental damage, and shattered the lives of tens of millions. Our occasional series Understorey Asia begins with David Vine, author of "[The United States of War,"](https://www.davidvine.net/unitedstatesofwar.html) accounting for the damage done by the American empire: the recurrent wars of choice (carefully engineered by corporate, congressional and defence interests); the environmental and human jeopardy involved in hundreds of US bases in our region, including those in Darwin, Pine Gap and North West Cape; and the military exercises which also engage us in this militarised view of foreign policy. Apart from disaster abroad, these wars have drained the people's wealth. Foreign policy is generated by arms corporations, selling to the military, while politicians receive generous donations from the same arms manufacturers they publicly finance: it's a complex but endless cycle that further militarises foreign policy - all for nothing but to making problems worse. David Vine reminds us of the urgency for allies of the US, like Australia, or at least our civil society, to head off ill-advised talk of an "inevitable" war against China, which would outweigh the mistakes already made in countries such as Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Iraq and Afghanistan.

In this episode, we interview David Vine, who is a Professor of Anthropology at American University.  His new book is entitled: The United States of War: A Global History of America's Endless Conflicts, from Columbus to the Islamic State  (UC Press). It is a provocative examination of how the U.S. military has shaped our entire world, from today’s multi-trillion-dollar decades-long wars to the prominence of violence and militarism in everyday American life. He examines the global matrix of U.S. foreign military bases, the existence of which, Vine argues, makes offensive interventionist wars more likely, creating a self-perpetuating system of permanent conflict. Vine draws on almost two decades of first-hand research in fourteen countries and territories, as well as on military bases, to expose the political interests, profit motivation, racism, and toxic masculinity underlying the country’s relationship to war and empire, and to examine the infrastructure that has made war a tempting first resort for resolving conflicts and exerting power. As President Biden begins the process of withdrawal from Afghanistan after 20 years at war, please consider speaking to Professor Vine about the long history of the US’s military conflicts.

This episode's focus is to ‘Bring Light Into Darkness' around what the US public should know about the cost of war. Over the last couple of shows we have focused on - among other things - the developing cabinet of President-Elect Joe Biden and the foreign policy history of Joe Biden along with those cabinet members he has already selected or is reportedly considering. The disturbing finding is that it all points to a bellicose foreign policy, similar to that of President Obama's administration, as well as President George W.

This episode's focus is to ‘Bring Light Into Darkness' around what the US public should know about the cost of war. Over the last couple of shows we have focused on - among other things - the developing cabinet of President-Elect Joe Biden and the foreign policy history of Joe Biden along with those cabinet members he has already selected or is reportedly considering. The disturbing finding is that it all points to a bellicose foreign policy, similar to that of President Obama's administration, as well as President George W. Bush before him and even in excess to Donald Trump's foreign policy and broken promises of deescalating our military forces abroad.

Jon and Matt were joined by Dr. David Vine to discuss the perpetual warfare state that the U.S has been since even before its independence. For its 244 years history, there have only been 11 years for which the United States was not engaged in military combat. These wars have almost all been offensive in nature, have killed tens of millions of people, and destroyed the lives of exponentially more. The history of the United States is a history of aggressive war. We need to have a reckoning with this blood soaked past. Dr. Vine is a professor of political anthropology at American University, a board member on the Costs of War Project, a co founder of the Overseas Base Realignment and Closure Coalition, and the author of Base Nation, The United States of War, Island of Shame: The Secret History of the U.S. Military Base on Diego Garcia. Specifically Discussed: - David's background and his development of an interest in exposing the imperial history of the United States - The ways in which the US is an empire and the various phases of that imperialism - The aggressive nature of nearly all US wars - Debunking the myth that the massive size of the Department of War and its 800 foreign bases does anything in terms of defense of the United States - The inseparable nature of racism and war - The need for truth and reconciliation and accountability for the mass death and destruction caused the our imperial wars of aggression David's Work: Please Support Him!

(12/11/20) The United States has been in a constant state of war since 2001. However, this is not quite as significant when you consider that the United States has been at war or invaded other countries almost every year since our founding in 1776. In his latest book, The United States of War: A Global History of America's Endless Conflicts, from Columbus to the Islamic State, professor of political anthropology at American University David Vine traces this pattern of bloody conflict from Columbus’s 1494 arrival in Guantanamo Bay through the 250-year international expansion of the US empire.

Since its founding, the United States has been at peace for only eleven years. Across nearly two-and-a-half centuries, that’s a lot of war. In his new book, The United States of War: A Global History of America’s Endless Conflicts, from Columbus to the Islamic State (University of California Press, 2020),  David Vine tries to figure out why this has been the case. His book is a powerful, broad-sweeping, and, at times, shattering account of the forever wars that the United States continues to fight to this day. Vine, an anthropologist at American University in Washington, DC, argues that war infrastructure can be a dangerous thing, even if its designers cite defensive purposes. The United States’ 800 military bases abroad today, and its hundreds of military forts that dotted the western frontier in the nineteenth century, have made war more likely by making it easier to think about. But if we build bases, Vine writes, “wars will come.” As ending endless wars have become part of mainstream political discourse, Vine’s book should help jolt these conversations into action.

Scott interviews David Vine about his research into the effects of America’s decades-long wars on terror. Vine and his team have recently estimated that at minimum, 37 million people have been displaced as a direct result of the war on terror, with roughly 8 million of these fleeing across international borders as refugees. He adds, moreover, that at least 800,000 people have been killed just in combat, along with probably 3–4 million more due to deprivation and destruction of infrastructure as a direct consequence of the fighting. Although immediate culpability cannot be placed at the feet of American troops for all of these dead and displaced, without question it is ultimately American policies and actions that have allowed these destructive conflicts to take place, and allow them to continue today. Discussed on the show: “Millions displaced by US combat since 9/11” (Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft) Creating Refugees: Displacement Caused by the United States’ Post-9/11 Wars “Biden says US must maintain small force in Middle East, has no plans for major Defense cuts” (Stars and Stripes) David Vine is a professor of Anthropology at American University and the author of Island of Shame: The Secret History of the U.S. Military Base on Diego Garcia. He also writes for the New York Times, Washington Post, and The Guardian, among others.

The Chagos Archipelago is a group of islands situated in the middle of the Indian Ocean. You may have heard of the largest of these Islands, Diego Garcia, because it is home to a strategically important US military base. However, the story of how this base came to being is rather sordid. And the plight of the thousands of inhabitents who were expelled from their homeland to make room for this base is utterly tragic.    Today's episode is a little different than what you may be used to from a typical monday episode of Global Dispatches Podcast. I have two guests today--each bringing a different perspective to one vastly overlooked affront to human rights that has been ongoing for the last 50 years.    I first speak with David Vine an associate professor at American University and author of a book about the Chagossian exile called Island of Shame. We discuss the history of Diego Garcia, why the US military considers the base is so strategically important, and what's become of the Chagossian population since their expulsion.   Next I speak with Olivier Bancoult, who at the age of 4 was banished from his homeland. Like many Chagossians, he now lives in Mauritius. He tells me his life story and we have an absolutely fascinating and somewhat tragic conversation about how a people who have been banished from their homeland adapt and find ways to preserve their cultural heritage.
