We overthrew democratically elected leaders in the Western hemisphere during the Cold War because we were unhappy with their policies. This is the way great powers behave...

I think they've got control of it, there's no question about it.

A century earlier, the British had learned they needed forward bases and coaling stations from which to project and protect their naval power. Now, with Britain in decline, the Americans looked lasciviously at the British assets and said, ‘Nice bases — we’ll have them.’ In the autumn of 1940, Britain desperately needed more warships. The Americans had fifty to spare and so, with what was called the Destroyers for Bases Agreement, the British swapped their ability to be a global power for help in remaining in the war. Almost every British naval base was handed over. This was, and is still, for all countries, about concrete. Concrete for the building of ports, runways, hangars, fuel depots, dry docks. In the East, after the defeat of Japan, America seized the opportunity to build these all over the Pacific; now they had bases right up to the Japanese island of Okinawa. — Tim Marshall

Today we all speak, if not the same tongue, the same universal language.

Different times and different spaces are combined in a here and now that is everywhere at once. — Octavio Paz
In 1949, Washington led the formation of NATO and with it effectively assumed command of the Western world’s surviving military might. The civilian head may well be a Belgian one year, a Brit the next, but the military commander is always an American, and by far the greatest firepower within NATO is American. No matter what the treaty says, NATO’s Supreme Commander ultimately answers to Washington. The UK and France would learn this at their expense during the Suez Crisis of 1956 — when they were compelled by American pressure to cease their occupation of the canal zone, losing most of their influence in the Middle East as a result — that a NATO country does not hold a strategic naval policy without first asking Washington. — Tim Marshall
Budapest is a prime site for dreams: the East’s exuberant vision of the West, the West’s uneasy hallucination of the East.

John Harrison

It's absolutely crucial that no one in our country or around the world ever doubt that our number one committment in the Middle East is to protect the right of Israel to exist, to exist permanently, and to exist in peace. It's a special relationship. — Jimmy Carter
We also want to try and slow down all this foolishness that's going on between the East and West. We gotta understand that Hip Hop is now universal. Hip Hop is not East coast or West coast. — Afrika Bambaataa
