The US did just fine with these strategies. But they additionally used raw military power, torture and media collusion. That's how they became a superpower.

- redis_mlc 5y agoThat's simply nonsense: - the US is not a colonial power, and basically never was. It fact, Roosevelt decolonized most of the world after WW2, including the British Empire and Germany's empire. - the US was not a superpower until surviving WW2 without being invaded. (The US army only had 100,000 personnel before WW2, which is one reason why Germany declared war on the US.) - media collusion had nothing to do with it. It's a shame how young Americans are self-loathing when there has never been a perfect country. Currently, economic migrants from 150 countries are entering the US from the Mexico border - on other words, voting with their feet on what the best country in the world is.
