Can't be arsed to read, lazy, rude, ad homien attacks and when asked genuinely for information on a subject I know nothing about, you just keep arguing in bad faith. I won't describe what I would like to Well done, you've earned yourself the 2nd person to join the kitten club. You are no better than the first person in that particular place. |

Rude for sure, but the point that the geopolitics of the US and other powerful nations amounts to something that resembles imperialism is about right. A little over the top perhaps, as really it is varying degrees of influence with only the highest degrees of influence being what amounts to complete authority or empire. |

Yes, perhaps the traditional concept of imperialism is dead. It's a different type of influence. (Neoliberalism anyone?) |

As an example of a non-traditional empire France still maintains its massive interest in Francophone Africa via economical ties and some less than benevolent leaders.
