Koreas, Keep in Mind - Collapse of the American Empire Is Inevitable

https://russia-insider.com/en/koreas-keep-mind-collapse-american-empire-inevitable/ri23336For now, the US military continues to maintain over a thousand foreign military bases around the world, including South Korea. Most of these serve no real purpose. Even while it was still opposing the Soviets, the US military morphed into a sort of grand extortion scheme: the American intelligence community exaggerated global threats, and the military spent copious public funds pretending to counter them. To this day the military remains Washington's single most powerful political lobby (Israel is a distant second) and thanks to its efforts America spends more on defense than most of the other nations of the world combined.
