- geofft 8y agoOh, I'm not taking issue with the US's behavior. I'm just taking issue with people who use it to argue that the US is the bestest country evar. If it really were, it would have been able to defeat the USSR soundly with its superior military technology. It's perfectly fine to admit the US is a mediocre large country, absolutely worth living in, but not some singular shining glory. It's perfectly fine to admit the US is bad at both picking and waging wars. That's my position.
- mav3rick 8y agoNowhere in my points did I say it's the best country. I just invalidated two arguments you used.
- mav3rick 8y agoAlso the US has never met Russia in an overt war. Not that I ever want them to either but your point is again invalid. There is a reason US pulls it's weight in diplomacy and military and currency are two big factors for this. Denying this is just you being delusional. Also US , barring the current govt., has always been very welcoming to immigrants. Every country has flaws but this country gave me and countless others an opportunity and a voice. That alone separates the US from many other countries.
