Does USA have the moral authority to be the "Leader of the Free World?"

Posted on 07/17/2023 9:28:58 AM PDT by MNDude

I see many Republican candidates proudly exclaim the importance of USA being the strong leader of the free world.

I'm curious what that means for today, and why that is important. What values is USA promoting in other countries in the world. Which examples of successes do we have to show from this role as a leader in the past 20 years.

Maybe I'm too ignorant about all the many nuances of the international scene. Can someone explain what this means and why it is important?

We elected a pedophile as president. We have zero moral authority.

We have become one of the most evil nations on earth. Complete lack of morals, ethics, and truth.

What it boils down to is that the United States Navy and Air Force, and the Army and Marines, enforce free passage for all nations on the high seas. Of course, there is more, but IMHO, that's the heart of it. We created a Pax Americana, which after WW II dismantled the British Empire, among others, and allowed almost universal free trade.

Never did, any beliefs to the contrary were false. Might does not make right, it never will, never did.

Our control of the seas made the Free World possible.
And the world has stuck it to us ever since.

I say, let it all burn.

I don’t give a shiite what happens in Ukraine.
China is 1 year away from meltdown.
Europe is the new Caliphate.

Roll up the red carpet-
Entry to the Land of the Free & Home of the Brave is by Invitation only-

No.

No person on earth is safe, and nothing is believable, because the US government is evil incarnate.

Satan is the head of the democrap party. He walks boldly through DC, public institutions, and state capitals everywhere.

America has absolutely lost her moral authority.

Trump is no different. Claims the U.S. can end the war in Ukraine by a mere U.S. Presidential decision. Some Conservatives should quit being like the Left, hypocrites when it comes to “American leadership”.

They changed it from “free world” to the “rules based order” since America and Western countries are no longer free.

That question was answered in the election of 2020.

It depends.

Do you mean the US government? If so, no, never.

Do you mean the people of the United States? That can be broken down many ways; religion, race, ethnic background, political philosophy, sex.

For the majority of Americans, I’d still say yes.

Biden got 81 million BALLOTS. Trump got 75 million VOTES.

There is a difference.

I believe the vast majority of Trump voters are good, solid Americans like we once were of yore (the silent majority). Many non-political people also, and even some who vote democrat, because they always have, or their parents did. Nevertheless, Independent voter numbers are growing as people see the flaws in both the democrat and republican politicians and parties.

We were once good, and we need to reestablish that good nation-wide.
