Is America, a dying empire ?

@ididntknow america was never an empire per se but certainly its prestige, influence, and standing, in the world have been destroyed by King Donald and his MAGA Party (formerly the Republican Party).

@newjaninev2 America is an empire, that’s why it has military bases all over the world, constantly starting new wars around the world,

@ididntknow US is 250 old , it was never an empire . Being an empire is a 200 yo sick idea.

@ididntknow Empires conquer territory, hold it and assimilate it. While we have been involved in wars and conflicts we haven't grown by conquest. Our bases which are capable of launching limited attacks are mostly defensive in nature especially designed to defend our allies.
Even if we had won in Vietnam we would not have assimilated. It would have become a democracy similar to Kora and Japan.
