Is it normal to think that the american empire should expand?

empire? what a joke.

I think it's better for many parts of the world like America, Africa and Europe to be controlled by the People's Republic of China.

I only want to help the weak people and knowing outside China there are so many problems, we should teach them how to do everything.

We are the number one military in the world, stronger than the world has ever seen. If any country should threaten us we would raise 1.3 billion fists and they would cower because everyone knows how strong we are.

I think the People's Republic is already big because our goods are sold to every country in the world, only officially we aren't the rulers of those countries yet.

Is it normal to think this or do you think we should just keep to ourselves, because outside of China most people aren't smart enough and uncivilized anyway that it's pointless?

More of the world should be trillions of dollars in debt, really fat, and have underpaid teachers. I concur. This plan...

...is flawless.

because outside the USA most people aren't smart enough and uncivilized

REALLY ?

Thanks for the offer but we are doing fine in New Zealand.

Can't tell if satire...

Who here agrees that the OP is a idiot.

Not sure if joke.
For one, USA is most definitely not the strongest power the world has ever seen, not even in living memory.
And secondly, your time is already practically over as the major superpower. That's the evolution of the state. Every state has their time, but it always comes to an end.
Lastly, nobody can stand ignorant Americans. Kindly get lost.

I'm ashamed to be a Canadian living in the American Empire, eh?

yes lets start another war we can not afford. lets go trillions of dollars in debt. lets focus on neighboring nations instead of dealing with the problems inside our own country. feeding the hungry, creating jobs, and controlling the differences between the north and the south are overrated. lets spend our money elsewhere. i know! we can reinstate the draft to supply our army! we can hand out food rations to ensure people don't spend too much money eating when it could be used on war materials. we can cut education programs, road improvements, and other frivolous funds! lets put our nation and our people in danger to gain a higher population- then we can have more minorities to suppress and more conflicts over religion and morals to control!

wait no... are you kidding me? we can't even afford the current wars. read your history textbook and stop being so ignorant.

HAHAHAHA, you think all Americans are smart and civilized? Have you BEEN to a Wal-Mart lately???

america is not a Fucking empire!!!!!!

Have you ever heard of "American Expansionism" and the evils that came with that? Do you not know what The English colonists did to the Native Americans?! They stole their land, massacred them, and forced them to live on reservations!!!!!!! america needs to stop nosing in other countries business! Words can't describe how upset this makes me. I am a ashamed "american" and if I could, I would gladly give up my citizenship and move to Canada or Britain. Why can't other countries be allowed to be individuals?! Also, america isn't as powerful as it used to be, the government is failing, the dollar is weakening,etc. Allot of people don't like this country and I can see why! I hope really hope you're joking because there's so much stupidity in your post, that this has to be a joke. If not, you need help.

Cheers!

what constitutes weak

and how will we pay for all of that?

Let me guess... You think the South will rise again too?

Gag. Vomit.

Sure.

(This is definitely an attempted troll.)

We'd have better luck if the Holy Roman Empire was brought up again and the church ruled the state (or, no more separation of church and state.) you sound like an idiot who has no idea of what's going on in the world. If America tried anything, Russia would nuke it first, then China, then North Korea (even though they requested firsties about a week or two ago.) so, your "plan" would never work. Everyone I know wonders why I think America/Americans are stupid. THIS IS WHY.

I really hope this was a joke....

ITs not that bad of an idea to want to help other less fortunate people. But i think you help them without becoming their rulers. Teach them, invest in them, and then set them free. And the USA is not an empire, its a constitutional democracy, which means that everybody gets a say in what they want. They dont always GET what they want, but they get to vote for it.

It's only normal if you have a potato leading the invasion!! :P

Oh you silly americans ! It won't happen with your country's recession right ?

The Basis of your Thread is a total presumption so there's no way to argue one way or the other as anyone who attempts to, becomes just as silly as you are.

It's like debating whether or not Cthulhu will wipe us out with Fire or with Plague.

^The basis is a presumption so of course any further discourse will be just as presumptuous.

shut up. imperialism is over. done with.

can anyone say flamebait?

Smart enough? You sound like you have learning disabilities, your grammar is atrocious.

Aussiewolf pretty much said it. "American Empire? What a joke".

To be honest, America constantly has problems with their civilians, so the last thing they should do is expand and make more people share the problems.

You obviously know nothing about the military or foreign policy. The US is already stretched too thin and strapped for cash. We can't afford to conquer the entire world and maintain it. Money doesn't grow on trees you moron. Idiot.

"the Empire of the United States of America"
hehehe

we can't even take care of ourselves, and the people elected to take care of us would just ruin the lives of wherever they decide to demolish next.

America is a great idea but I think it's never really come into fruition. At least not the way the founders imagined.

nah
