Not too many countries can handle power and wealth and resist the temptation of subjugating weaker countries. They get the super race mentality and think that all should bow to them.
The U.S. is the only power that did not turn into a colonizing machine, even though it had the power, wealth and influence to do so.

"The U.S. is the ONLY power that did not turn into a colonizing machine, even though it had the power, wealth and influence to do so."I patiently REMIND the LibTards in my life of this FACT when they're slamming America for some perceived slight. They instantly start frothing at the mouth, stammer, stutter and gasp for air, LOL!
Try it! It's FUN! :)

The U.S. is the only power that did not turn into a colonizing machine, even though it had the power, wealth and influence to do so. What the heck do you call 'Manifest Destiny', the 'Monroe Doctrine', Texas Revolution, the 'Indian Wars'? Let's not forget the Spanish American War. Both Philippines and Cuba were colonies for years, as Guam and Puerto Rico remain to this day.
Don't delude yourself. The US was (and is, at least through economics) a colonizing country,subjugating other people's and countries.
