The US is officially not a superpower
Fundamental Change.
That ship sailed a long time ago.
It is a military superpower (for now). And fiscally and morally bankrupt. The latter will undermine the former.
How can it remain a superpower when >40% of children are born out of wedlock, homosexuality is now revered and taught as normal, a large percentage want to smoke weed or are on pain pills and psychotropics?
Russia got tired of paying rent.
Yes we are ,we lack a superpresident.
We are a superpower; Crimea just is not worth sacrificing American lives over. And unless we want to take over the naval base at Sevastopol in perpetuity, there is no way we could defend it. We’d be occupying a primarily Russian population that would hate our guts. After Iraq and Afghanistan, Americans are in no mood for another draining foreign occupation.
What is worse is that Russia ain’t much to write home about either.
