Johnson, a professor from the U of California, has written extensively on this subject: Blowback,Second Edition: The Costs and Consequences of American Empire; The Sorrows of Empire: Militarism, Secrecy, and the End of the Republic; Nemesis: The Last Days of the American Republic. In these books, he describes America as an empire of bases, attempting to build it in the Roman model. The number of bases keeps on increasing despite the end of the Cold War. Its role has fallen out of strategic necessity, and explains part of the reason why there is an ever-increasing military expenses.   S* N/ B; Y) `6 I! m2 A

Thank you felicity for your comment.  It might appear that I am very against US, it is partly true, nearly all of their foreign policies are absolutely noxious.
" X+ f% g! j. f: }% D0 |5.39.217.76On the other hand, many of my good friends are from the US; and I fully respect and admire those political intellectuals and artists who are living there.
! K3 V# k8 x8 t! wOne thing about the US:  people are allowed to speak their mind openly without worrying too much of the subsequent consequence.
