What is connection between size of economy and imperialism?
Imperialism is:
Korea, Brazil, and India are in no position to be imperialist. They are countries exploited by the imperialist bloc. Russia is even smaller than these countries and is even more exploited. It literally does not fit the definition of imperialism.
I feel like that’s a wrong definition, here is one more broadly used:
imperialism | IM'pIerIalIz(a)m | noun [mass noun] a policy of extending a country's power and influence through colonization, use of military force, or other means
So the use of military (Wagner) force also constitutes it. Also, the size of that country has nothing to do with it.
