The European empires died decades ago, and the American thing was based on soft power and wasn't an empire.
North Korea is a bad place, since we all know that's where this is going.
You should look up the word "imperialism". America maintains vassal/near vassal states and military presence all over the world, has intervened in and started wars in five of the six populated continents and has repeatedly deposed governments it doesn't like. Look at Iraq, Vietnam or Yemen/Gaza and tell me the American thing "was" "about soft power".
Ah yes, Iraq was very close to compromising the US's global position. /s
They don't have vassals, unless you include Puerto Rico or Guam. The rest of us did stuff for them because we liked them, and Israel is closer to vassalising the US if you just look at the exchange of favours. Occasionally, they attacked a small nation for fairly frivolous reasons. Your guys were staining the world with blood the whole time.
I know this is sarcasm but I still have no idea what you're trying to say. Who said anything about the US's global position?
Oh no I'm not talking about the West; those are for the most part "allies". By vassals I meant US-installed or heavily controlled/supported governments all over the world, like in the Middle East, Africa and South America (though those seem to be more independent now).
