Professor Stephan Kinzer often takes critical look at the expansionist policies of the American republic in the late nineteenth century as America was competing with rising empires,established empires, and declining empires for spheres of influence around the world. Professor Kinzer appeared on Sam Sedar's program with his same usual historical reporting of America's early growing strength. No doubt Sedar and Kinzer wished not to see the United States reach the unity and power it achieved and undoubtedly these guys would of preferred a Russian expansion instead penetrate Alaska and make its way down to California
. Americas universities today are full of professors today like Mr Kinzer critical of Americas expansionist behavior while all the other major powers around the world were expanding and the basis of their power was growing land acquisition. All Sedar and Kinzer need to look at today is Spain and Greece and what could happen to a people and country when land growth stops and empire reverses.
Kinzer went on to explain the Spanish-American war to Sam Sedar and how the option of taking the Philippines became available and one has to wonder if Kinzer and Sedar would prefer the noble and benevolent massacre producing Ottomon and Japanese empire remained strong instead from a neo-liberal capitalist world pushed by the United States and Great Britain. Kinzer stated that the desire for mass markets in China and how the Philippines would be used to direct more sales into this market was a major driving force for continuing search for markets.This jackass professor also went on to complain about all the resources and energy we use ignoring the problem that we are in Northern hemisphere and need energy to heat are massive landmass something third-world countries like Brazil don't need to worry about as this Kinzer is an asshole. as are those who continual use this analogy for propaganda of resource use of America. Kinzer and Sedar said nothing about the Spanish,french, and English drive as well for these global markets to sell grains and meats and so forth. Kinzer doesn't like the idea as an academic of residing in an empire as he is conflicted as a pragmatic professor to bashing empires as a historian but enjoying the benefits of having lived in a empire and the benefits of a strong base giving him tremendous resources for work and written research. Not ahhhhh unlike as Sedar would say the benefits coming to a guy who sets up a mining operation in the Philippines or a sugar operation in Puerto Rico.
