We are not an empire in the old traditional sense that you appear to be fixated on. What really constitutes a modern empire? Influence. Aspects of our culture, language and customs permeate a large portion of the world and what currency is the primary international currency of the world? The dollar. All of that is what makes us a modern empire.
what about the 1973 Oil Crisis?
Egypt nationalized the Suez Canal-no influence
Korean War--Vietnam War-no influence over China or Russia
Cambodia and Laos?? no influence
etc etc
no--the US does not have supreme influence--please read the definition of empire which I posted before
