After the Philippines (a case of economic colonisation), the US doesn't "colonise" other territories anymore, but it sure seems to exercise an economic and political command and control system over them when it wants to.

It's right out of the old playbook the Soviets used in Eastern Europe and Finland. You don't want to occupy anything you can control without doing so. Much like the asset protection strategy employed by the very rich: Own nothing personally. Maintain full control using proxies.
It is somewhat ironic that the current US government refuses to be a treaty party to existing international laws and courts that deal with human rights and war crimes - but is self-righteously insistent on creating an entirely new body of law which broadly expands protections for so-called intellectual property. And furthermore, insists that its blatantly biased interpretation and language be accepted internationally without any discussion, real debate, or pubic voting.
