Should The United States Have Annexed Philippines

I firmly believe that the United States should have annexed the Philippines. I believe the United States should have annexed the Philippines because, if you how more power go take over countries and conquer them. Also if you have places conquered you can deploy your army and troops to spots closer to the enemies and you’re a more powerful country so less countries will try to fight you if you are a major world power.
The United States should have annexed the Philippines for more power. I think if you want to annex someone you have the right to if you’re more powerful you can take the countries over because they can’t do anything about it. It’s like taking a candy from a baby they can’t fight back or the consequences won’t be good for them.
