    What else do you expect from a colonial imperialist state?

    New colonies at the very least. Haven’t seen any new colonies created imperially in a couple hundred years at least.

      One such colony is committing a genocide in Palestine right now.

      Technically started as a british colony I suppose, but it’s been functioning far more like a US one.

        I didn’t know Israel is a colony of the USA, I thought they were just strategic allies. What’s the average Israeli pay to the US for taxes?

        Also, is Canada a colony as well?

      It’s a matter of monopoly capitalism and furthering it’s dominance in client states. Look at US’s involvement in regime change. They sponsor fascist coups who are friendlier to foreign private capitalist interest for the benefit of the US as the global hegemon.
