The United States never had any empire full stop.\nThey never claimed other countries as their own.

one day if the US gets a little more power over the rest of the world and some technological advances the US could actually become and empire and use its influence to in effect rule the world.....or.....maybe one day the superpowers of the world will decide to band together and make the entire world and all its people into an unbreakable empire...hey you may laugh now but one day it could happen.

No, it is currently a commonwealth of the United States.  It is NOT a colony.

The empire and the kingdom are forms of statal organization. First of all, in these days Great Britain is NOT an empire (it was in the past, it also had an colonial empire, etc.). UK comes form UNITED KINGDOM. Great Britain is more like USA = United States of America. USA is not an empire either, it is a federal state. Great Britain's form of government is the monarchy, form of statal organization is the kingdom.\n\nExamples of ancient empires: The Roman Empire, The Greek Empire (of Alexander the Great), The Persian Empire, etc.\n\nMedieval-Modern empires: Ottoman Empire, Russian Empire, Austro-Hungarian Empire.\n\nthe EMPEROR rules over an EMPIRE (= many states ruled by one person (it is not the case for USA; it is a federal state))\nthe KING rules over a KINGDOM: only one state, how's form of government is the monarchy.\n\nHope you understood. If not, ask me further.\n\nGood Luck!

I wouldn't count on the US... global warming is melting the frozen lands of Siberia, where there are vast ammounts of natural resources. So if your choice is just because you think Russia is a pour country, think again. And remember that noone defeated Russia, they couldn't even take over one single town! (Stallingrad). And if you're just being patriotic when you say that US will rule, good for you. I love america too. I'm from Europe.

You are correct in your analysis and I agree with everything you say above. It is a shame and a terrible mistake what the USA are doing around the globe, but especially in the Middle East.\n\nThe reason for their unsubstantiated belief of superiority can be found in their religious doctrines and in the massive economical, political and military power they have accumulated.\nIn fact they are one of the worst nations on the planet and their bloated empire will crumble and fall as all empires have before. The decline has already started, and if you want to understand what is going to happen to the USA, read about the end of the Roman Empire. The parallels are staggering.

The United States never annexed Cuba. You may be thinking of Puerto Rico, which was won from Spain in the Spanish-American War.
