      Does the USA own Iran? Does it own Venezuela? Does it own Iraq? Does it own Vietnam?

      What the USA is doing is waging war, and only because Russian and Chinese election interference put the orange asshole in power to begin with, and it’s benefiting Russia who is now able to sell its oil and gas again.

        It does have great influence over Venezuela and the countries it is attacking. Ownership is not really relevant if they are the ones making decisions about what is happening in and with the country affected. Just this influence can very well be seen as an imperium. Russia is also imperialistic, China has not shown it to a great extent yet but they are moving towards a greater area of influence too.

            I was thinking more recently and that they weren’t as successful and it wasn’t covered as much. I don’t have that much information so I figured it wasn’t that popular of a topic

              Hong Kong and Taiwan are pretty recent, and while Tibet started a while ago they’re still pretty aggressive with tearing down temples and disappearing people.
