US Base at Mattala Airport
Discussion about potential strategic leasing of Mattala international airport to the United States. The proposal considers geopolitical positioning in relation to China and India's regional interests.
Oh sure, let's turn another sleepy airport into a geopolitical chess piece - because clearly what Mattala needs is to graduate from "world's emptiest airport" to "world's most strategic parking lot for military jets." Next diplomatic masterstroke: converting abandoned malls into nuclear submarine bases!
The US @StateDept should consider leasing #SriLanka 's Mattala international airport for use as a base. Given that both China and India are already acquiring key locations to ensure their stability, a long-term relationship is prudent. https://t.co/KpiVUPpnvq
