The US allowed a base to be built. I don't understand how you can deny this signifies some kind of relationship. If I show up and ask to build a tree house on your property, you and I have established a relationship. Not a difficult concept I assure you. If I also say that no one can know about my tree house, you need to make sure no one stumbles across it.
Hey, if you want to believe in this nonsense that's your decision. Just don't expect others to not get a good laugh at your expense.
