Is Kyrgyzstan the only country that hosts Russian and US military bases?

Every report I’d heard so far on the current unrest has mentioned by-the-by that Kyrgyzstan contains both US and Russian military bases. I can’t think of any situation where that has occurred before. Is it the only country for which this is now true? How about historically? [neither Cuba nor post-WWII Germany not included]

Post WWII Austria up until 1955, but that was the same situation as post WWII Germany, so you probably don’t want to count it.

[Cuba and post-WWII Europe not included] :smack:

Here’s another you may want to disqualify: Russia in 1918 to 1920

I think there are russian and US military bases in Djibouti too, but I’m not 100% certain.

I read this as “Australia” and did a double-take.

I know there is a small more-or-less permanent US presence in Djibouti; a USAF friend was working there just last year. As to Russian bases, I got nuthin’

The news I saw described K-stan (not even going to try) as the only such country. Although as part of a diplomatic deal last year, the US agreed to describe its facility as a “transit center” rather than a base.

In the Wikipedia article on Russias Armed Forces there is a photo titled “A Russian soldier at a checkpoint co-guarded by Russian and American troops in Kosovo”, details as follows:

Whether that arrangement is still current I don’t know.

There’s no mention of that anywhere I can find. The list I’ve drawn up so far is:

Armenia
Azerbaijan
Belarus
Georgia
Kazakhstan
Kyrgyzstan
Moldova
Tajikistan
Ukraine

so entirely ex-USSR republics.

Kyrgyzstan. Like Lynyrd Skynyrd. :slight_smile:

And if you hate spelling “Kyrgyzstan,” you’ll loathe the autonomous part of Uzbekistand called Qaraqalpaqistan. :smiley:

and Turkmen president Gurbenguly Berdymukhamedov as well :smiley:

Indeed, it seems I was wrong. There are French, German, American and Japanese (:confused:) troops there, but no mention of Russians. For some reason I believed that they used Djibouti as a naval base.
