One is more literally building a "nation" than the other. I was more pointing out that USA just occupied a territory & stayed there forever.
(You don't leave your military in a nation after the war is over. Sovereign nations don't allow that. Eg Mexico iirc.)

Both in their (USA) image.

    Yes you do.

    Sovereign nations don’t allow that.

    The occupied usually surrender territorial control, and all the allied nations stayed in Germany for a number a years... hence the whole east west divide.

    Anyways, I get to say what I meant by Nation Building in my comment. I don't know what you're on about. Are you trying to point out that the US is corrupt? Because buddy, that's already apparent to most people.
