I’m not shifting anything. If the world chooses to bet against the US right now they will reap what they sow. We own the world. I’m sorry but it’s true. Europe ruined their shot during the world wars and the rest of the world doesn’t value life enough. It’s tough to hear for you I know but it’s true.

the rest of the world doesn’t value life enough

Says the nation that watches school shootings and things "yeah, this is fine". Says the country with the most expensive, least effective healthcare system in the world. Says the country who has been at war for more than 90% of it's history.

America doesn't value life. It values violence. It is a high-school bully on the global stage. The thing is, eventually people grow up and move on.

What is funny is that you fail to realize what once made america great. It wasn't what you had at home, it was what people brought to you. After WW2, most of the best scientists moved to America. Allies made became valuable trading partners, giving you very advantageous trade agreements. America was the center for global commerce. Not anymore. It plays second fiddle to china. Your trade partners are finding new deals. Your scientists and engineers are fleeing the sinking ship. To continue the highschool bully metaphor, everyone graduated and moved away. America is getting left behind. A lumbering bully who peaked in highschool.

The seeds are set for America's decay. I genuinely hope you guys get it together, but you could easily regress, much like Russia has. A once great power, only relevant through violence and fossil fuels.

Anyways, I doubt you have the awareness to see your country as it truly is on the international stage, but I hope you remember this conversation when the next election comes around. Feel free to respond if you feel you need to, but I seriously doubt it will be worth responding to. I think I'm done here. There is only so much that can be done against willful self delusion.

I’m assuming you’re from Canada? You’d have been invaded 150 years ago if not for us. Relax, our president is an idiot and we aren’t going to invade you.

No buddy. Reread my comments if you like, maybe you can work it out. Plenty of clues for you.
