This is a textbook historical description of an EMPIRE.
I'd call that an overstatement. The US is HARDLY in control of 120 out of 160+ national gov'ts on this planet. Sometimes it's not clear that it's in control of itself. :-)

Also, those numbers don't work. Adding them gives 160,000 stationed overseas. But the article claims 370,000.
