A reminder to those outside

You live in a world in which the US exists in its current state. Remember that existence may only be possible because of who we are. You don't have to hold the mantle, think twice before you deem it useless.

You mean any other country in that state wouldn't have continued to exist? You feel the US still holds the mantle? or you feel that others don't have to feel they have to step up and take over? I suspect China et al., are already working on that. You feel most other countries feel the US is useless?
You may be right on several of those points

@Adaydreambeliever I suggest that a country can afford certain luxuries because they don't have to spend as much in other areas since they are allied to the US.

@Jackaloftheazuresand That makes little sense.. I cannot imagine such countries... allied to the US.. you would be suggesting the US helps them in some way... hard to imagine.. are you thinking of some third world country? It's so hard to imagine..

Perhaps these other countries aren't allied quite as closely as you imagine or like to believe?
