Um… we run an empire by sending our jobs overseas?!

Okey doke.

No.

We run an empire, among other things, by massive military presence around the world.

Air Force.

Army.

Marines.

Navy.

Note that I said not a word about whether said empire is good or bad. But to deny its existence is as delusional as to dispute the force of gravity.

And if you want to know a few surprising things about American imperialism, ask a Filipino.
