WW I proved the end of the 19th Century and started the bloody 20th that took the lives of Millions via, conquest, war, communism and fascism. Only one winner of this folly—the USA. As top dog on the planet, we replaced the British Empire and, sadly, I don’t think we have done as well running things as the Victorians of old. To rule the world a dominate nation-state must become right bast*rds, heartless as the Ancient Romans in the Ancient World. Its not in our nature to be the murdering, feared, masters of the world. The Islamic people see we have no heart for it and use our humanity in a bid to take the crown from us (Yes, they can be cruel masters—just look at ISIS). America must step up or hand the crown to another nation—China? Russia?
“Its not in our nature to be the murdering, feared, masters of the world.“
I’m not so sure about that. If you’d put it to a vote in 1943 Americans would have quite happily exterminated every Japanese on the planet. We’d have made what the Romans did to Carthage look like a Sunday school picnic.

Well stated thank you
And if we think the elites that were toppled in the French Revolution and WW1 have gone away...they are still around and are the puppet masters of globalism...
Then along comes Trump...
