“Empire”? I didn’t realize we’d colonized Kosovo and Iraq.
Words have no meaning among the BDS crowd. Just toss them out there and hope your audience is impervious to actual definitions. Hell of a stategy there.
Always best to look passed what your "leaders" tell you and see reality for yourself. The British never colonized India nor the French Viet Nam, but they were part of their respective empires.
The stated goal of the British and the French was expansion of their respective empires. Iraq isn't even the slightest bit analogous. We deposed a mass-murdering terrorist thug and began the process of turning the country over to the Iraqis almost immediately.
The comparison is pure leftist hyperbole.
