IMPERIALISM VS EXPANSIONISM
Well as someone said recently, there is a difference between imperialism (formal and by force) and expansionism (informal and by incentives).
I wish I had thought of that method of explaining why I disagree that it’s western imperialism. Empires are forcibly dominating. Federations are incentivizing cooperation.
The USA has been trying to end the age of empires (the world wars) and this third ‘world war’ we are currently involved in is to to complete the project of ending empires and building federations by the defeat of the remaining empires: russia, iran, china.
And at present, that defeat appears to be in the progress of working. The only variable is the rate of US and European re-armament (basically ammunition, artillery, bombs, drones, missiles). Because neither of us has the industrial plant to do so vs china.
