HAVE BEEN SAYING THE US MUST DO SOMETHING BECAUSE CHINA AND RUSSIA WANT TO REPLACE THE USA AS THE WORLD LEADER. 1)
WHAT???
BY WHAT MEASURE IS THE USA THE WORLD LEADER TODAY?
Sorry, guys, but "Leadership" is not defined by the degree to which a nation spends lots of money, especially when those countries the USA is supposedly protecting do not feel the need to spend to defend themselves. 2)
That is not a leader. That is a "sucker".
Leadership is not defined by the amount of music and films sold outside the USA. Leadership is not defined by a country that seems to be destroying its own economy on the basis of ideology. 3)
Leadership IS if the USA leads by example -- by being more prosperous, more free, more safe, more creative, more about law, more about Government serving the people, not the other way around. 4)
No, the USA is not a leader today to be replaced. It is not respected because it begs for respect and throws money out to buy respect and gets scorn for its efforts.
Let me ask a question. Which nation are people afraid of offending -- China or the USA. Answer honestly." 5)
