The geopolitics of Central Asia has begun shifting in anticipation of the NATO forces ending their combat role as well as their pullout from Afghanistan and the proposed establishment of the nine American military bases in that country. Kyrgyzstan today gave the final touch to its strategic decision to demand that the US should vacate the Manas military base near the capital Bishkek by July 11, 2014.
All signs are that Washington has accepted the Kyrgyz decision and does not propose to seek its review. Bishkek has been blowing hot and cold, but this time it seems the final, final decision. Bishkek loses a revenue of $60 which the Pentagon has been paying as rent for the base. The Americans say they paid a total of $200 million last year to the Kyrgyz government on various counts relating to the use of Manas.

My compliments to the Kyrgyz government to try to be independent. (Just to mention, this is my personal view)
America-bashers should stop the celebrations.
US is building a LARGER base in Uzbekistan.

For embassies there is agreement that if one country opens an embassy in one country that country can open an embassy in the other country. Should the same not be the case with military presence? I promote an Uzbekistani military base in Beverly Hills!
