Collapse of the American Empire

Since we don't have colonies wouldn't it be a mistake to compare the US to the decline of the British empire?

I've long felt that America is truly a terrible empire. The romans saw direct threats to the north, east and west, and what did they do? Invade, and convert those under their rule. Right across the border from Texas are some of the most violent and barbaric cities in North America, if the USA was a half decent empire we would have invaded, killed the barbarians and converted the rest to our culture. How great would all of NA be if we controlled mexico, cuba, haiti, DR, and every other island in the gulf of mexico? Pretty damn great. Also we should probably start some colonies in Afrika, Asia, and the Middle East. A truly international empire.

No.

We are too nice to be honest. We give too many gibs to the countries we put small bases of 100 or less troops in. Seriously, I was stationed in Germany (one of our largest international presences) and we barely have anything left.

We did more of a sphere of influence instead of colonies or empire. Something to protect our business interests, not spread ourselves over the globe. It's a cost effective way to protect your investments, but only in the short run.

Having colonies is too much hassle. Better to have a billion "independent" countries who are in every way our bitches. See OP pic.

Trouble is that doesn't help us if the bitch countries don't give us anything in return. Trump will hopefully fix that.

The United States is distinct from the British Empire in nearly every way.

We are the Roman republic circa 130 bc

Trump/Bernie are the first populists to take on our politics

Trumps= gracci brothers

US's collapse will be slow and painful

Only up and to a point. Then it will be fast and painful.

You should paint Ecuador red as well since America has hidden bases at the Galapagos Islands.

Anglo-americans and frenchies are enemies of white race.
Your fate is near, americunt.
Eat your burgers while you can.

There are no american bases here, though

Client state is the definition you're looking for.

Not really military bases here, just a radar station, and some storages for nuclear weapons and tanks.

By that logic, our army has military bases in the United States, Germany, Mali, Afghanistan and Bosnia.

The US has a massive, stable, resource rich land mass that it calls home and thus isn't as on colonies. Instead, the US uses a combination of hard power and soft power to project globally. While American hard power is the strongest in the world, it's soft power that really gives the US its global presence. The day the world stops watching Hollywood movies and listening to American music or when business is no longer done in US dollars is when the American Empire truly falls

We could lose some states in the breakup and I'm okay with that.

Your inferiority complex is showing.

You can easily tell this was made by someone with an additional chromosome.
He obviously couldn't tell the difference between Hainan and Taiwan.

Central Asia is wrong. You had one in for transport purposes to Afghanistan (Kyrgyzstan?) but Russia payed them to kick you out. Entire region north of Afghanistan is without your military presence 100%.

>Since we don't have colonies wouldn't it be a mistake to compare the US to the decline of the British empire?
Yes, because British Empire raised savage people up while American Empire has ALWAYS been a force to spread the Poz.

>iceland red
you guys left over a decade ago

Opinion discarded.

Still better than London

Your empire is shit.

People still think of Britain as an empire through the commonwealth. But they see America as a big world police

Instead we invite the barbarians in, user.

Even in OP's picture, we're fucking called an empire, yet we expend our blood and treasure for these places for free. We don't draw any tax from any of those fuckers. We only draw ire.

No. Because the US army bases have no say in how the host nation runs, and they have to leave if the local authorities request them to.

We're also red but they only have a base in Thule - Greenland
Which is technically because of us, but not really us.

How did that work out for you

Does the American fear the black warrior?

Not an empire buddy. I wish you burgers did take the mantle of empire up, but you didn't. And now the barbarians are at all of our doors.

A base in the country isn't enough. You need to have control of the entire territory, your flag planted there. The ability to raise taxes, implement the rule of law, conscript or establish armies from your new conquered lands and most importantly set up a colony of your own people, possibly wiping out the local native competition if they hav abo tier IQ or are just savages.

>France

You failed on this part, too, Britain. You faggots could have wiped out Africa from South Africa to Egypt, or in India, but you broke your backs building them railroads, schools, universities, and attempting to civilize them.
If you had only just given it the North American treatment...

...

>Since we don't have colonies

What is Puerto Rico?
Guam?

Their votes in Presidential elections don't elect no one.

>tfw Nazi Germany couldn't take us and neither USA can

Feels good to be feared by everyone
