It does have power that it can't control.

@KortezG Military bases in uranus.

Power is not enough.

You need millions of people to involve in it.

@Firefly Hold on.

What are you trying to say?

It will be funny if the US did "Space Imperialism"

@Deleted User USA can't control the world.

@Firefly No fucking shit.

@KortezG That's 2003.....

@Deleted User yes.

FIne, I find a more recent image.

The power itself is not enough.

@Firefly What do you mean by that?

Power as in electricity?

As in military and diplomacy.

Power is a pretty big factor, but not 100%.

That is obvious.

Now we're talking.

SHIT

The substance of power is finite and timely.

And it might get darker before the sunrise.

Substance?

WHat do you mean by that?

This substance is more like a state.

One time is here.

Another time it goes.

Not really....

Where is the English Empire now?

Your military bases just don't randomly get burnt down overnight.

I would like to see it.

Do you have a picture of the English Empire?

@Firefly Ever hear of canada, australia, new zealand, and a bunch of island colonies that still consider the queen their head of state?

Is that all what is left?

If you consider a 1/3'rd of a continent, 2/3 of another continent, and several islands, large and small to be not much territory, then yes.

I'm sure USA will have some satellites in the future too. Even after losing all the imperial power.

Imperial power? This isn't 1850 mate, it has long since fallen out of style and practice.

Look at Germany. German Empire is gone too.
