    Well, you kind of owed it to Angola since they paid you $300 million for the satellite. It failed within a few hours and Russia was contractually obligated to put up its replacement

    k

    I never said other nations didn't have bases around the world just not nearly as many as the United States for obvious reason ( because they are closer to potential trouble spots).

    You really think that constitutes an "invasion"?

    I called the website "BS" because it claims stuff like the U.S. "invading" El Salvador from 1981 to 1992.

    A few dozen advisors is NOT an invasion.

    WW2 and the Holocaust. Those were the primary reasons the US became the "world police". That and no country in Europe could actually lead or stand up to Stalin and the Soviet Union.

    The US being the world police is at an end though. China is expoiting most of the poor countries and enriching tthemselves off it and the US. Eventually, they will replace the US as the force across the globe. Unlike the US though, they will be bent on domination through exploitation of materials, money and sheer military power. It's already happening in the South China sea.

    China has warships off the coast of Taiwan. Is that an invasion too?
    Russia had a bomber cruise past Alsaka and warships off the coast of New York. Is that invasion too?

    Jesus wept! I've lost count of similar incidents in Latin America. Cuba, Grenada, Chile, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Haiti (at least once before). Nicaragua, San Salvador, Costa Rica, Panama, Guatemala, Honduras, Columbia, Bolivia, Peru, etc.

    It's USA version of what's happening in eastern Europe right now, only Russia has been based where it is since forever. USA is still a British colony only 400 years old imo.

    Me too and although we haven't formally signed on the dotted line (yet) we do have the 'one-sided commentary' very well established.

    Sure, that is why countries like Germany, Italy, Japan, and South Korea have done so absolutely poorly, right? The USSR impoverished and immiserated its subject countries which it enslaved where as the US helped to build up its former advisories and make them into successful friends and partners. How is North Korea doing compared to South Korea? How was East Germany compared to west Germany?

    Countries don't have friends and don't give gifts. They're called investments. A "friend" is just a country whose interests usually align with your own.

    Oh, is that it?
    The US are the "world police" in disguise for its hegemony, in a forceful way
    Yes, China is on the rise, but a more clandestine softer approach.

    This is true, for good or ill.

    I'm indifferent, personally. Being over here in Asia-land, it may not be as much of a life shock as it would be to someone in, say .... Germany. We're pretty good at Chinesing here, and we're already 'owned' by them in a number of ways. They're peaceful and industrious people, and generally want the same things Westerners do (without the Marxism and Woke).
