I have looked into it.<br /><br />Macron public said as much in his words to the greater glory of France.<br /><br />Adventurism is not only about economics. Glory is also a big part of it.<br /><br />Americans are no exception although glory is not such a big deal in the US. ButAmericans really like seeing the American flag flapping all over the place and troops and ships flying the flag. More pride than glory though. But the British and French elites are still into the glory, Some other past empires, like the Ottoman, are also trying to recapture some of the previous glory.

Australia is a colonial power, in Papua New Guinea and East Timor. China is a colonial power in Tibet and Xinjian. Latin American countries are not so much colonies as vassal states, to use Putin's accurate terminology, i.e. they are weaker but similar to Canada or European countries; vassals pay tribute to the hegemon.Marian Rucciushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12104215453386195003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-36183709621729051082018-07-30T16:27:05.260-04:002018-07-30T16:27:05.260-04:00I would disagree that the US is the only remaining...I would disagree that the US is the only remaining colonial power. Both the UK and France also aspire to this as part of the "tradition." The UK has been a major meddler in Syria, and it was France that led the charge to attack Libya.<br /><br />Britain and France once controlled the ME and France had an African empire. The British and French elite still have delusions of grandeur.<br /><br />Oh, and the British foreign covert intel, MI6, is probably worse in this regard than the CIA, with whom it is joined at the hip.<br /><br />The former British Empire is now the Anglo-American Empire, although few realize it.Tom Hickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08454222098667643650noreply@blogger.com
