Resumen
Post-Cold War U.S. foreign policy has embraced imperialistic strategies that betray republican foundations and undermine national interests. The first article critiques Washington's Soviet-modeled empire-building through globalization, outsourcing, and privatization—exacerbating income inequality—while analyzing coercive tactics like regime changes in Saudi Arabia and Iran. This radicalized pursuit of global hegemony faces mounting international resistance. The second article examines historical precedents from Athens and Rome, demonstrating how republics inevitably forfeit citizen liberties upon acquiring empires. Together, they argue that America's imperial ventures paradoxically threaten its security and freedom, embodying the self-destructive trajectory of powers that prioritize dominance over democratic principles. The analysis positions contemporary U.S. actions within this cyclical pattern of imperial overreach and republican decline
