In The Sorrows of Empire, Chalmers Johnson advances the disturbing claim that the United States’ Cold War-era military power and far-flung base system have, in the last decade, been consolidated in a new form of global imperial rule. The United States, according to Johnson, has become "a military juggernaut intent on world domination."
Driven by a triumphalist ideology, an exaggerated sense of threats, and a self-serving military- industrial complex, this juggernaut is tightening its grip on much of the world. The Pentagon has re- placed the State Department as the primary shaper of foreign policy. Military commanders in regional headquarters are modern-day proconsuls, warrior-diplomats who direct the United States’ imperial reach. Johnson fears that this military empire will corrode democracy, bankrupt the nation, spark opposition, and ultimately end in a Soviet-style collapse.

A. the overexpansion of military into polities.
B. the rebellion of the civil.
C. the inability of the government.
D. the disappearance of democracy.
