THE EMPIRE THAT NEVER STOPPED WAGING WAR
For more than two centuries, the official narrative has sold an image: that of a nation defender of freedom, guardian of international order, and promoter of democracy. But history—the real, uncomfortable one—tells a different story. The United States, in its approximately 250 years of existence, has been involved in conflicts for more than 90% of its history. These aren't isolated episodes, nor inevitable wars. It's a pattern. A constant.
A machine.
From its first confrontations against the Sultan of Morocco, through the invasion of Mexico in the 19th century, to interventions in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, the common thread is the same: expansion, control, and domination.
The construction of its power wasn't free. It was built on dark pillars:
•slavery
•territorial dispossession
•resource exploitation
•coups d'état
•proxy wars
•and an arms industry that needs conflicts like oxygen
This isn't a light accusation. It's a historical review.
Here are the facts:
The 1953 coup in Iran against Mohammad Mosaddegh.
The intervention in Guatemala in 1954.
Vietnam, turned into a hell for more than a decade.
Chile in 1973, with the fall of Salvador Allende.
The Congo, where Patrice Lumumba was assassinated.
The pursuit of Che Guevara in Bolivia.
And more recently:
Iraq. Afghanistan. Libya. Syria.
The list isn't short. It's endless.
Between 1947 and 1989, it tried to change foreign governments 73 times.
66 covert operations.
7 overt interventions.
That's not diplomacy. It's power engineering.
THE ECONOMY OF WAR
Behind every intervention, there's a constant that's rarely mentioned: money.
War doesn't just destroy. It also generates profits.
Military-industrial complexes that sell weapons.
Reconstructions funded by corporations.
Strategic resources under foreign control.
Meanwhile, the discourse remains the same: “defending democracy.”
But the question is inevitable:
Defend it… or impose it?
GLOBAL DOUBLE STANDARDS
When other countries act with force, they're called regimes.
When the United States does it, it's called leadership.
When others invade, it's condemnable.
When Washington does it, it's “intervention.”
That double yardstick has eroded not only international trust, but the very concept of global legality.
THE CYCLE THAT REPEATS
Because in the end, it all boils down to a formula that history repeats again and again:
INVADE. DESTROY. RECONFIGURE. WITHDRAW… AND START OVER.
It's not theory. It's a pattern.
The empires of the past also believed themselves eternal.
Rome. Persia. The British Empire.
They all shared something in common:
the conviction that their power was unquestionable.
Until it wasn't.
Today, the world watches.
No longer with admiration… but with distrust.
Because when a nation lives in near-permanent war, it stops being a guarantor of stability…
and begins to become its main threat.
“THERE IS NO BENEVOLENT EMPIRE WHEN ITS HISTORY IS WRITTEN IN BLOOD.”

Natural Philosophy on X: "“The greater part of the population is not very intelligent, dreads responsibility, and desires nothing better than to be told what to do. Provided the rulers do not interfere with its material comforts and its cherished beliefs, it is perfectly happy to let itself be ruled.” — https://t.co/KwFdEVXgAE" / X by Aldous Huxley 7:37AM 24 March 2026
