Imperialism don’t have one flag one nation.

Main reason why countries are joining and happy about being part of NATO is that middle and East European countries knows too well what does it mean to be a part of Russian imperium. Especially now when Russia is trying to conquer post east block countries.

That’s the top reason why we want to be a part of UE and NATO, Russia and weird shit like bricks and so on. We want to have human rights and at least basic rights.

Also inter-imperial hegemony:

A stark illustration of one of the ways in which the United States uses its military to enforce its domination may be conveyed in three points, related to a comment Alexander Haig made to United Press International in 2002 about the reasons why the United States stations tens of thousands of troops in Europe,22 and continues to do so, long after their ostensible purpose for being there—to defend Europe against the (wholly unrealistic) threat that the Soviet Union would attempt to spread socialism to Western Europe by force—had dissolved.

The first point concerns the position Haig once held, before becoming secretary of state in the Reagan Administration. From 1975 to 1979 Haig was Supreme Commander of NATO forces in Europe—which is to say that he, as a US general, had under his command the combined military forces of NATO’s European members. By design, a US flag officer always commands NATO’s combined forces. Additionally, in “war NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander has the power to suspend Europe’s civilian rules”3—in other words, to exercise a dictatorship over the greater part of Europe. The second point is that Haig explained that the Pentagon had 70,000 US troops in Germany because US troops kept “European markets open to [the United States]. If those troops weren’t there,” explained Haig, “those markets would probably be more difficult to access.”4 The third point is that imperialism is a process of domination guided by economic interests (for example, keeping European markets open to US investment and exports.)

In the original interview, Haig goes on:

On occasion, even with our presence, we have confronted protectionism in a number of industries, such as automotive and aerospace.

So… How does it work?
