Sorry if it came across as as sniping, that wasn’t my intention.
A criticism yes, but if you can’t stand criticism, so what.
As for being the greatest nation on earth and in human history! it depends on what criteria you are basing that statement on.
I am sure quite a few academics and historians could give you a good argument on that one.
As for you providing charity to this country, would you mind elaborating on this point.
By the way don’t mention the aid in WW11,you didn’t give us that, we paid for everything and contributed to one of the greatest periods of growth in the american economy.
Finally envy is not a particularly common british trait, at least not amongst my family and friends, is it common in the states.

Another great thing about the United States is how we come to the aid of our allies, get no gratitude or respect for what we do, and we continue to aid and protect them anyway.

I imagine there are lots of left-wing academics who think the United States is rotten. These taxpayer-supported unaccountable socialists dominate academia in Europe and the United States.

By all measures of economic strength, military might and how it’s used, and charity here and abroad, there has never been a greater nation who has had so much power and used it for much good.

I don’t expect you to understand this because you live in a socialist country which brainwashes you.
When was the last time you spent any time in the United States? We’re a huge country and Hollywierd /CNN/NBC/CBS/ABC do NOT accurately represent what life in America is really all about.
