So, how long until these countries decide that having a US base just opens you up to this shit and decide to just expel them?

Their regimes are reliant on US weapons and protection to stay in power. They are extremely unpopular with their population.

Depends on how much bribery and extortion Trump is willing to use, in order to change their minds. One way or the other though, the US is on its way towards losing all positive influence in these countries.

Sure, but that basically means there are approximately zero countries hosting US Armed forces that would try to kick them out just because Iran was launching rockets at those forces.
