There’s no plumbing until the White man shows up.I will presume you are not White and resent us being the ingredient that turns every nation into a success.
Irish/English/Scots/Welsh.
Every nation has had its turn. Italy during the renaissance and before that the Roman Republic and Empire. UK, France and Spain had their Empires that stretched centuries. Persian Empire. Many Chinese dynasties. Egyptians 2-3,000 years before Christ was pretty big. All brought something to the table whether it was the Chinese with gun powder, Isaac Newton with gravity, Galileo, the arabs with algebra - not a Yank amongst them. And remember, Edison, Franklin were all descendants from people who came from elsewhere.
Your US-centric view of the world is noted. How did the human race survive its first 250,000 years without the US...boggles the mind really.
The only difference between the US empire and others is that the length of time your empire lasts will barely make it to the century mark.
