62. The exit of US soldiers was “a triumph for national sovereignty”

said Ecuador's Foreign Minister Fander Falconi in 2009, when they kicked the Americans out.

He also said that the lease agreement, signed in 1999, had not been properly legalized because it had only been approved by then Foreign Minister Heinz Muller and the legislature's Foreign Affairs committee, “and not by the full legislature nor all Ecuadorians”. It's best to push these SOFA agreements through with as few people as possible - e.g. when the entire Iraqi Parliament got involved in 2008, they voted to kick the Americans out in 2011.

Many Japanese people are hopeful that they can get rid of their rightwing government, and their American military bases, just like the Philippines managed to do:

When China forces the US to accept military bases later this century,
we'll stick them in Texas, since most Americans hate Texans.
No matter how much Texans complain and whine, California and New York and the rest of old America will work with Beijing to limit their hated military bases to one small portion of USofA - and gladly pay the "protection money" demanded by China, to keep the bases "out of sight, out of mind". I never liked Houston, anyway.
