Funny how you claim America has an "empire" yet America gets absolutely none of the benefits from this "empire" that every past historical empire has always received from its vassals and territories.
No foreign military force is under the control of America and none of obligated to serve America when called upon for any reason - even the late British Empire - the loosest of all empires with its "commonwealth" system - could compel military servitude from commonwealth countries. Can America? No. Proof: we haver to ask nicely and hope other countries agree to help us, and plenty of times they either outright refuse (Turkey in the Gulf War) or give a tiny amount of token help that makes no difference.
America gets 0 economic advantages. American companies have to compete with foreign companies without any advantage. Could you imagine an Imperial Japanese company having to COMPETE with foreign companies to exploit the conquests of Imperial Japan? Nope.
So by what metric does America have an "empire"? The obvious answer is: none.
America is PART of a HEGEMONIC COALITION comprised of the US, EU, Commonwealth, and Japan/Korea/Taiwan.
Yeah, a real "COALITION" not being totally run by the US State Department. I believe this is the real power structure because I'm retarded you see.
