Was America ever great?

Whatever you might think about Europeans they love Americans. Really. Yes, at times we may sound a bit strange. Like that uncle or aunt who's behaving strangely at Thanksgiving dinner. We're actually drunk on our own believes of self importance. So let me remind you now of that famous scene in the tv series The Newsroom (Why Is America The Greatest Country in The World?) Happy Thanksgiving!

Your video doesn’t seem to make much of a point.

But I would ask if America (the USA) isn’t so great, why have so many other nations come to rely on it for so much financial aid and military support over the years?

@RedBaron Not about being great, isn't it? 🤨 The Roman Empire was great

@val70 Not really. It eventually petered out.

But you haven’t answered my question about the rest of the world relying on the US.

@RedBaron It's petering out, and you need to accept that. The rest of the world isn't concerned about an empire petering out

@val70 It doesn’t matter to me. I am 64 years old, so I probably won’t live to see that happen anyway. If I do, so be it.
