Entry: America: An Empire? Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/america_an_empire#12851 Post contents: Sabin: I am an economist, (the dismal art), believe me the current structural problems being faced by the U.S. seem insurmoutable. Empire is only possible if you have the economic wherewithal and the population. The U.S. has neither. Its industrial base is so eroded that it has taken 4 years to produce a few thousand up armoured humvees. That says it all. It can't sustain an occupation of a coountry of 25 million (Iraq) oops I meant 19 million, (4 million refugees, 2 million dead). Today the U.S. army is surviving in Afghanistan as long as Pakistan's army keeps distracting the insurgents. Think about it. The chinese do not have one soldier outside their borders, they are therefore able to tie in Africa and Asia and and the Americas into their economic empire. Today they sell their goods to the U.S and take all its surplus. Isn't the U.S. already a Chinese colony? They give the dry alcoholics who run the U.S. all the money they want to borrow to destroy what is left of its influence. Sorry my friend all options are bad or worse. The U.S. has to get an Indian to run Citibank because American educated CEO's lack the ability to understand the worl. Obama says he is more qualified because he was schooled in Indonesia. What kind of empire is this? Sent at: 2009 01 07
