Do you stand behind your words or not? You said you wanted the US to
build bases that were "akin to ...."

Hey words: "akin to," as in "similar to."

" ......modern military bases."

No, not "similar to" at all. Building a base to defend the United
States is not similar to building a base to provide you with TV
pictures of a base. It's completely different.

If you had said "akin to a TV studio," that would be different.
