    Does the USA deserve to be the world's greatest superpower?
    What is a super-power right now and what would define it being one in todays political climate. America has no power that can force any country to do what it wants, it’s use of sanctions are meaning less and less now that other countries are trading
    outside of SWIFT, between that and the Russian and Chinese digital dollar the USD will decline significantly.

    The US military power is sizeable, but is in no way threatening to any country, the fact that America spends more than any other country in the world on their defense budget is more about how they waste more and less about what they actually have as far
    as technological advances.

    Watching America run out of Afghanistan was pretty clear that what power America once had is gone.

    Do America deserve to be the worlds super power… is there a need for a super power? The world sovereign nations do no need a police man watching over them, and especially one who has committed more atrocities in the world than any other single country.
    America acts like it’s police forces in America, kneeling on the necks of other countries while trying to say they’re metering justice for the people.

    Go home America, try being a power to your own people before trying to be a super power to the world that doesn’t want or need you. Put your budget into building America to the great nation it once was… but… we know you won’t… you will carry on
    this mindless endless game of acting like a big bully which people around the world just stare and laugh at.

    We’re no longer laughing with you, we’re laughing at you… and you have no idea.
