This is a little over the top, I'd say. Canada and Mexico are large nations. They just are mostly not in conflict with the US. And Western Europe declining somewhat in relative influence is not a cataclysmic thing. I would say the aggressiveness of totalitarianism at the moment is not evidence of its superiority as a political system as much as of anxiety about retaining power. The problem with democracies is a problem with propaganda. The larger a prize the democracy is the more it is riven by propaganda.
