    I'm well aware of all the blood each nation has on their hands. The original point I was challenging in the statement that started all this was you said America was the cause for all the current stability in the world and I stated that after WW2 America being destabilizing governments and countries that didn't fit their needs and putting in prop governments which has lead us to the current climate around the world. While still keeping up with their proxy wars around the world. America is ~slightly~ better than current Russia and China but that shouldn't be the case which is my problem that so many people are willing to simply say well look at xxx place and how bad they have it be happy you live in America and to shut up.

    There's a difference between some dirt and being covered in mud.

    Even if the score is better you both still failed.

    Lol. I love how dumb you guys are pretending.... well maybe not pretending about the 57 vs. 53. Yes one is better than the other but they're both overall fucking terrible. But hey be happy and complacent with being awful but not technically the worst.

    And I'm telling you, if China and Russia are mud, then the U.S. is a like post-baseball game dirt. The Trump and Hillary comparison is quite accurate.

    Here's the gut check friendo.

    As bad as the U.S. is, why do we get hundreds of thousands of applications for immigration (legal, asylum, refugee, etc.) a year?

    Because we're a first world liberal democracy. There are inherent structural advantages to that. There are no other first world liberal democracies poised to assume the U.S.'s position in the world. The next in line for primacy are Russia and China.

    Yes you got a good start and.... which would be lead to a worse world if they were in power. And while I don't share Greds pro-hegemony ideals I'm realistic enough to know that if we completely stepped down one or both of those 2 would try to step in and one would succeed. And well how long do you think you personally would physically survive in Russia? I'd be nice if those 2 weren't ready and waiting. It'd be nice if the EU wasn't toothless but it aint so

    No that's the day.

    Nynja doubles down and claims he was right and we're all too stupid to see that.
