@Tfmonkey Why do we have a bunch of military bases where our allies are like Germany?
I thought the purpose of a military base was to keep tabs on enemies we just conquered.

@basedbagel The US adapted the model laid out by the British Empire, but instead of building colonies in other countries and ruling over them overtly, we build military bases and use the CIA to steal elections/instigate coups/overthrow governments and replace them with our puppets.
In the end, the British Empire never collapsed, it just got reorganized under new management.
Thank you, this just connected alot of dots for me.
I tried researching it but I kept getting confusing answers that made no sense.
I’ve characterized the USA as the new seat of the “Anglo Empire” for like a decade now, and said that it merely changed capitals from London to DC. Similar line of thought.
