“Imperialism is the maintaining and extending of power over foreign nations, particularly through expansionism, employing both hard power and soft power.” (Thanks Wikipedia) I was in the army too and kept wondering why US has military posts & bases all over Europe & Asia etc, but other countries don’t have military bases on US soil 🤔 Nice to finally have a word for that. Imperialism. Seems kinda awful & corrupt. Kinda like that board game “RISK” in which the objective I suppose is to take over other countries with your military presence.
