Heh. Yes, the alternative to imperialism is reliance on the scouts.
There's quite a difference between "imperialism" and "defense". How many countries has the US launched a pre-emptive attack against as being the initial offender over the last century?

Wow. No, imperialism today is manifested by our intent to keep our hegemonic control over as much of the world as possible, mainly in corporate/economic domination. That you would support our bloated military is baffling, unless you think we should be the world's police force.

Can't help but note you refused to answer the question and just came back with the above hyperbole.
BTW, my father was in the Pacific Theater under Gen. MacArthur during WWII, so was my dad some sort of "imperialist"?
You really believe that?
I think that Putin likely says such
things for political effect here.
Not because he believes them.

I don't agree that he wanted Trump or now wants Biden. All I can go by is "Putin says"

Putin appreciated Trump because he could be controlled. What better way to harm America than from the inside out?
To this day, many Americans are under the spell of Russian propaganda. Many defend Putin, Russia. They would prefer Putin over Biden as potus

Trump and controlled shouldn't be in the same sentence.
You really think Trump is controllable?
I called him a "stick of dynamite" for a reason.
That's not how imperialism usually works. Even in feudal societies, defensive wars are more popular so something is always *constructed* to make it appear like a defensive war. Such as fake WMDs or alleged but unevidenced torpedo attacks. Or acts of rebellion by enemies we have been systemically oppressing that is now declared reasonable cause for war.
We haven't been in an 'honorable' or 'defensive' war in my entire lifetime. Just been places we shouldn't be to control things we shouldn't be trying to control.
Trump cannot control himself, and that is dangerous. But he can be manipulated by others, and that is also dangerous.

I am an anarchist. I think statism is the most vile thing to grace this planet, and I think statists have Stockholm syndrome in relation to their government.
I wish people didn’t take government seriously. If we all laughed at the judges funny outfits instead of standing to attention for them, I think this world would be better for it.
American statists take the office of presidency most seriously. The president is their leader. That is why I think Donald Trump is the greatest president. He made a complete mockery of the office. He was a total buffoon! I would turn on the news and be laughing so hard when his petty tweets would be broadcasted. He made a joke of the highest elected position in America. Generally, I saw statists embarrassed by this man. My hope is that he turns people away from statism
I hope he wins in 2024. One, it makes the news a lot more entertaining. Two, I hope he keeps desecrating the sacred office of the presidency in the eyes of statists. #Trump2024 ! #trolling?

Judge dismisses some charges against Trump in the Georgia 2020 election interference case
"ATLANTA (AP) — The judge overseeing the Georgia 2020 election interference case on Wednesday dismissed some of the charges against former President Donald Trump and others, but the rest of the sweeping racketeering indictment remains intact.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee quashed six counts in the indictment, including three against Trump, the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee. But the judge left in place other counts — including 10 facing Trump — and said prosecutors could seek a new indictment to try to reinstate the ones he dismissed."

An optimist would point out that this means the Judge ruled that 10 charges against Trump had sufficient evidence to go forward.
I would say the glass is more than half full

Of course there still are ten...
Whether you're an optimist, pessimist, etc doesn't change that three have been quashed of the thirteen.

If your house needs some repairs, which do you think is the better course of action -- identify the repairs needed, cost them out, and then proceed to make them, or just blow the whole thing up and build another one?
I look at the need for changes in political institutions in the same way.

He's clearly controlled by people he looks up to
Absolutely. Putin is an excellent example. Trump would never stand up to Putin.
The problem is you're attempting to blow up a conspiracy theory and perceived 'threat'
Very dangerous

I agree. What changes would be best?
I'd say term limits for all political offices across the board would be one change I'd be on deck with.

The trouble is that they weren't specific enough with some of the charges, so what could be done would be to resubmit after making the necessary additions. Thus, the judge's decision does not mean nor imply that the charges were bogus.
