    You use the words ‘colonialism’ and ‘imperialism’ but don’t seem to know what they mean.

      Colonialism is just the step beyond imperialism. America does imperialism all over the world but doesn’t colonize everything.

      America setting up tonnes of military bases, killing the government and then replacing and dictating the entire governance with their own peons means that it colonized Afghanistan, it didn’t just influence it.
