I looked through that and much of it is bogus. Total garbage.

"This article deals with U.S. imperialism since World War 2. It is critical to acknowledge that U.S. imperialism emanates both ideologically and materially from the crime of colonialism on this continent which has killed over 100 million indigenous people and approximately 150 million African people over the past 500 years.
The exact death toll of U.S. imperialism is both staggering and impossible to know. What we do know is that since World War 2, U.S. imperialism has killed at least 36 million people globally in Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, the Congo, Chile, El Salvador, Guatemala, Colombia, Haiti, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Chad, Libya, East Timor, Grenada, Honduras, Iran, Pakistan, Panama, the Philippines, Sudan, Greece, Yugoslavia, Bosnia, Croatia, Kosovo, Somalia, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Palestine (see Appendix).
This list does not include other aspects of U.S. imperialist aggression which have had a devastating and lasting impact on communities worldwide, including torture, imprisonment, rape, and the ecological devastation wrought by the U.S. military through atomic bombs, toxic waste and untreated sewage dumping by over 750 military bases in over 80 countries. The U.S. Department of Defense consumes more petroleum than any institution in the world. In the year of 2017 alone, the U.S. military emitted 59 million metric tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, a carbon footprint greater than that of most nations worldwide. This list also does not include the impact of U.S. fossil fuel consumption and U.S. corporate fossil fuel extraction, fracking, agribusiness, mining, and mono-cropping, all of which are part and parcel of the extractive economy of U.S. imperialism."
@vantexan i noticed fox news left you in the darkness about US empire and as promised i hope this sheds some light on the situation

- Thread starter rickyb

i believe ron paul and lawrence wilkerson would quote the same number on 800 bases around the world.

I’m pretty sure Van meant statements like this…
“U.S. imperialism is the greatest threat to life on the planet, a force of ecological devastation and disaster impacting not only human beings, but also our non-human relatives”
We aren't controlling those countries and a lot of what you're calling bases are things like radar installations.
abby martin was talking about this before. might be true. but i look at the throw away economy as a much bigger problem.
Well thank goodness you're looking at it. I'll alert the media.

Don’t do that I believe @rickyb has unpaid parking tickets from where he moved from they will probably come and get him.
the media like fox news wont cover it. they maintain the status quo like empire and economic system which dont actually work.
yes and russia isnt trying to control ukraine gotcha
Better let the Chinese know. They want to be top dog. Think of all the expense you'll save them. If they have doubts tell them you've looked into it.
as youve probbaly figured out, china will replace you but china will be under water not long after bc the economy doesnt actually work and that will be the end of the china empire.
How would you feel about China invading Taiwan?
It'll be America's fault.
forget but i think thats what this ukraine thing is really about: china vs america
