OT: Bases for an Empire |
Bases for an Empire
http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/sunday/commentary/la-op-johnson18jan18,1,1861853.story
U.S. military power girdles the globe. It is imperialism by another
name -- and it incites terrorism.
By Chalmers Johnson, Chalmers Johnson's latest book is "The Sorrows of
Empire: Militarism, Secrecy, and the End of the Republic." A longer
version of this essay appears on www.tomdispatch.com.
CARDIFF-BY-THE-SEA - Many Americans do not recognize - or do not want
to recognize — that the United States dominates the world through its
military power. Our garrisons encircle the planet, and this vast
network of U.S. bases, on every continent except Antarctica,
constitutes its own form of empire. The Pentagon has remade the map of
U.S. territory in a way unlikely to be taught in any high school
geography class. But to understand the size and nature of our imperial
aspirations — and the degree to which a new kind of militarism is
undermining our constitutional order — it's crucial to have a sense of
the dimensions of this globe-girdling "Baseworld."
