            Glad to know that if you die from Trump’s brutalist fascism it won’t matter because it was in the past.

              That’s odd, I had you pegged for a Tankie, the likes of which support Trump and worked hard to get him reelected as a way to irreparably harm the USA.

                Fuck Tankies, I’m just not willing to ignore my countries horrors or praise another countries horrors because of a flag of a different color.

        You can just admit you’re wrong you know. Focusing on the territorial expansion, absolute laughable nonsense btw when talking about one of the largest nations to ever exist, instead of the absolute ruler that is technically required just makes you look willfully ignorant.

          An empire is an empire and the USA is not currently, the majority in the USA want to keep it that way and are working hard to stop this madness.

          The reason I feel the need to hardline on this issue is because those fucking Tankies have been calling the USA an empire for decades as an attempt to damage their reputation and normalize the actions of eastern autocrats.

            As they say, fascism is imperialism turned inwards and the slow learners in the room are about to find out that conquered subjects don’t particularly care about the technicalities of the power sharing arrangements of the oligarchs that own them when they talk about the sins of empire.

              The USA does not have a history of Fascism and is not filled with Fascists, it’s filled with people fighting against Fascism which very recently sprouted up in the USA with the help of eastern autocracies.

              Look, if and when the USA tries to conquer Venezuela, then you can call that imperialism. But that has not happened. Maduro’s VP is the new ruler of Venezuela according to Trump’s cabinet and the pentagon.
