Now that you are an expert on the topic of imperialism and all that it entails... find a current event article that gives readers an example of imperialism (not involving the United States). Provide a link to the original article and then provide some discussion as to why your selected example is imperialism - and go one step further - is it economic or political imperialism (or both).

In this current event the stronger nation being Russia has captured a Israeli mercenary back to his country after being caught since 2001. This is an example of imperialism because the stronger nation has already oppressed the weaker nation by capturing a spy. But since the weaker nation could do anything to get the captured spy back this is an example of imperialism. Like the queen of Hawaii could not do anything to stop the United States annexing the islands. The spy was found in Colombia and the Russians captured him and has just been released back to his home country.
