@sonhouse saidWhat was the US world leader in?
It looks like the American experiment was just a fluke.
We are unable to govern OURSELVES much less the world and now we are reaping the result of our loss of influence.
Of course to the insurrectionist scum here at RHP and around the country, they don't give a rats ass about anything outside the US.
We stand alone now with our enemies dancing in the streets and all these scumbags hypnotized by Trump can do is scream HANG PENCE and Dems STOLE the election.
Music? Well, I am an admirer of Springsteen and Waits...
Films? Pulp Fiction and The Big Lebowski (and of course Star Wars) are my favourite movies.
But other than that? What did they lead on to be proud of?
Losing wars all over the place?
Implementing regime change all over the world (with terrible consequences for local populations)?
Infusing capitalism all over world (with terrible consequences for everyone involved)?
Fast food?
Plastic tits?
What?
The US has always seemed mediocre at best.

@badradger saidAt this point in time there are those who lack class, I wouldn't say that about everyone in the U.S.. They will be decades trying to repair damage done if not longer as someone pointed out. As their neighbor to the North, I am saddened yet about what happened on Jan 6, 2021. 🙁
In a nut shell it lacks Class.

Well we sent a dozen folks to the moon a half century ago, even if it was planned as a publicity stunt to outdo the Soviets, it was still an outstanding achievement especially considering the rather unsophisticated tech, especially in computers ATT.
As a former Apollo technician I can tell you there was a LOT of sophistication despite the lack of real computers.
You have to admit those trips held the imagination of the whole planet, maybe even the Soviets.
Besides that, we invented PEANUT BUTTER🙂
@earl-of-trumps saidLike Iran?
Yes, but that does make America a leader to those countries that are small and not well defended :-)

@sonhouse saidDon't fool yourselves. You never were, except in countries that never had democracy to begin with.
The whole world is watching us and we are no longer the shining example of democracy to the world.
