Who else is happy that America is no longer the worlds most powerful country?

To use a phrase: absolute power corrupts absolutely, and America has demonstrated what people, in this case white Americans, can do with too much unchecked power: invasions of Iraq and afganistan, military coups in Latin America and Africa, CIA assasinations etc

basically anything you can think of, from genocide to resource theft , the us government has participated in since becoming the worlds sole super power after beating russia after ww2

now, though, there is a new country wielding just as much political power: china. The Chinese government is hella corrupt, but not anymore corrupt than the crazy white American Nazis in Washington dc

it will be interesting to see how these 2 countries interact in the upcoming years

    Just look at the answers here! This shows why the rest of the world thinks so little of The USA. The most egocentric nation of people on earth.

    I have news for you, You are not the superpower and demigod that you think you are!

    And when your country starts losing the financial aid the American taxpayers get the bill for, then you'll be wishing we were the super power again.

    How are we not still the most powerful country? I don't know on what basis you are making that assertion and I don't agree with it. China is up and coming but we are still the most powerful country.

    I'm not happy for three reasons:

    1. I'm American

    2. My parents are Taiwanese. REAL Taiwanese, not those Nationalists.

    3. I like Japan

  • We are just as much the most powerful nation on earth as we ever were.
