Of course not.....he has proven that repeatedly!

Look it up.

"The term "American Empire" refers to the United States' cultural ideologies and foreign policy strategies. The term is most commonly used to describe the U.S.'s status since the 20th century, but it can also be applied to the United States' world standing before the rise of nationalism in the 20th century."

Americans dislike being tagged as an imperialist power. I wouldn't either.

Yes DmColonial, King is once again showing us that he despises the U.S., that he is here to undermine the U.S. (especially our 2nd Amendment), and that he has no shame... and no brains either.

It would be interesting to think what the world would be like today if the U.S. had not intervened in WWI, WWII, and a multitude of other conflicts in efforts to thwart Communism, Socialism, and Islamic extremism. Maybe you might find some reference to Jewish people in some obscure text, but certainly the Jewish people would be as extinct as dinosaurs. Perhaps the many millions of poor people of the world who have benefited from U.S. foreign aid, food, and vaccination programs would be better off dead, in King's puny mind.

American empire... what a fraud you are King. Why don't you stick to bashing your own country, starting with your anti-gun Liberal black-face racist Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. I'll bet you voted for him, and would back him again.

I know that a huge number of Americans recoil at the very idea that the US is an empire. However, the reality is that the word "empire" does not connote anything negative (or positive). If we are an empire, we are a very different form of empire, when compared to counterparts in the past.

On the other hand, the US has territory all over the place and it could be said to be a far-flung empire in the geographic sense. This includes territory under American sovereignty, but also foreign military bases and spheres of influence. The global reach of the USA today, is rivaled only by the Mongol and British Empires. That's a pretty strong argument for empire.

But, the US is nothing like the Mongol, British, Chinese, Japanese, or any other empire. Similarly, those empires were also nothing like the Roman, Persian, or Aztec Empires.

Is the United States an empire? The answer boils down to your interpretation and definition of the word "empire", as well as your take on geopolitics. There is no definite answer and it doesn�t really matter because the word means different things at different times in history.

The US contribution was welcomed by the allies in both wars. American sacrifices were enormous, their valour admirable, your word intervene close to fact: "come in as something extraneous, occur in the meantime"---Oxford English Dictionary. Isolationist in policy, the US was torpedoed into the First and bombed into the Second, its bunds and seig heils clamouring as the British Commonwealth and allies fought fascism alone. The West also benefitted immensely from the Soviet Union's sacrifices, surpassingly higher than any other country, our Western Front a comparative sideshow to the Soviet sweep from Moscow to Berlin.

+1, Ryan.

Until you consider the US fought the war on two fronts. Who else was going to do that? The Soviet Union lost more souls retreating than the US did advancing. If the war hadn�t happened, Stalin�s goulish regime would have crumbled to dust perhaps three decades sooner than it did. It would have been good to see him hang.
England paid a high price. The cost of the war effected the economy of England perhaps to this day. That said, winning a war takes a lot, but, losing takes everything.

There's quite a bit of difference between the U.S. having far-flung bases to maintain security after a war to liberate a country, and conquering territory with the motive of overall rule by a King or Emperor. Without the U.S., there would be no NATO or United Nations, because most of the members would have been conquered and under the rule of dictators like Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Mussolini, etc.

Pretty cool to see the old fraudster King Brown replying with a defense of the Soviet Union. When old Joe Stalin wasn't fighting Hitler.... He was busy killing over 20 million of his own people.

Gun control makes insignificant little things like that mass genocide so much easier. C'mon King, I know if you try real hard, you can make yourself look like an even bigger ass.

"Without the US no NATO or UN," eh?

Canada is a principal founding member of NATO and UN member since it was established, six terms on the Security Council, our prime minister Pearson president of the UN General Assembly.

Yea? Canada vetoed any resolutions this week?
