HEGEMON vs. IMPERIALIST

Dave,

The U.S. goal is hegemony, which means that we leave quisling and puppet regimes in place and let them fight surrogate wars for the corporate interests that the U.S. military is the "enforcer" for.

Re: There's a big difference here, Ray. As you well know, we have no designs on these countries comparable to that held

Certainly, we've learned from former empires that it is easier and cheaper to administer the hegemony remotely. While still achieving the commercial goals of the elites.
