really maeks u think

No one is saying we aren't. Our integrated homeland alone is the size of an empire.

Technically an empire requires a monarch though, so obviously we don't talk about it.

>>136676656
Name an empire without a monarch.

the dutch empire before the 19th century

arguably the serene republics of italy

The high point of the Dutch Empire, when it actually was called an empire, was during the monarchy.

The Italian republics were never called empires.

Is that why the US pays these countries to have a base there? Is it also why they'd leave if the host country asked them to do so?

for real dude? do you recognize the economic and political repercussions if they asked such a thing? that's like getting blacklisted by the most powerful force in the world, its literal suicide by idiocy

Like the Philippines asked the American to leave Subic Bay? Are they blacklisted?

How can the US be an empire if we can't even force Japan to come to an agreement over trade deficit?

>>136677270
doesn't cuba want you out of guantanamo bay?

Who ever tried arguing that we weren't?

And? If they do they'd have to renounce a treaty that was made.

They want money more than they'd like the US to leave. The Castros have close to a billion dollars in multiple banks while their citizens live in huts.
