America is an empire?
Maybe the elitists have an empire who are scrambling to protect themselves. Maybe that is what he’s talking about?
“America is an empire?”
If we were, it would be an improvement. Post WWII, we have committed to all of the military and economic obligations of an empire, with none of the dividends. We have created a unique and noxious fusion of the most costly aspects of an empire and a not for profit charity, on a global scale.
It will kill us in the end.
