"How can anybody claim there is an American Empire when the USA has annexed ZERO territory in the last 100+ years. NOWHERE has America forced residents to obtain American citizenship, on threat of deportation, denial of social services, denial even of basic medical care? That’s what Russia is doing in Ukraine, RIGHT MOW."

You still persist in thinking like a moron and trying to explain away facts. The American Empire is know as the "Rules Based Order" and it is not a kind place for dissidents.
