Raymond, "Name any other nation on the planet that has military forces posted to 125 other nations?" 125 nations sounds a bit steep to me. Unless you're including the marines that defend our embassies. I'd be curious to see a link from you supporting this. I don't doubt the gist of your claim that the US has forces posted in many countries. The point to made here is that it is with the expressed permission of those countries. The US has a large presence in Germany. I doubt they view themselves as our imperial partner nor do they seem bashful about voicing their disagreements with us on issues of importance. Like so many countries, Germany recognizes the need for a US presence to bolster their own legitimate defense needs. There is a difference between having troops in a country and subjugating the country. With your "I hate the USA" agenda I can understand how you would have difficulty making this distinction. I would ask you to name one country today where the USA has installed a colonial government. If we are the imperial power you claim you should be able to rattle off dozens of names.
