"Why do you single out American imperialism instead of talking about imperialism in general?"

Notes:
The map I used didn't include Turkey (US ally) or Gaza as part of Palestine. Palestine and Lebanon are the only countries that have only been attacked by Israel and not the US directly. Pakistan is technically a US ally and Lebanon has security agreements with the US, but neither host US troops.
For every single country in the oil-rich Middle East, the options are to let the US troops come voluntarily, or to fight them off when they attack.
I did another version for China btw:
I could do one in Southeast Asia, but no matter where on Earth I did it, the US one would not be greyed out like China in the Middle East. Almost as if the only places other countries are "active" are regions nearby where they have legitimate security interests, while the US is out to conquer and subjugate the entire globe.
That's a good question.
Ummm...but, you didn't actually answer the question, though. You just went ahead and focused on US imperialism, instead.
I did though. The reason that I single out American imperialism is that there is so much more of it than there is for any other country. Show me a region anywhere on Earth that looks like this for Russia, China, or any other country.

Its always funny when people try to impute the imperialistic actions of the US on its enemies. The US as the west's leading country is world capitalism's cop since the end of WW2, and has ~800 military bases outside to project power outside its borders.
By comparison, all other countries combined have only ~30.
