jeezes, read what I wrote USA lended money FROM China, you guys have to pay money back to China.
the name Russia has been used for over centuries, like it was part of the USSR, nowadays it's part of the Commonwealth of Independent States. So, obviously I ment the USSR years!
oh again you're there with the "considered to be a superpower", it was a superpower.
USA, the most powerfull country in the world? yes, that's true
richest? that depends on how you look at it, there are many countries where the average conditions of life are better for everyone. What use is it to be the richest, when 99% of the money is owned by 0,01% of the population? 15% of the US population life in poverty, but hey you're still the richest
you should try to be the greatest, an example of democratic, humanistic values that defend freedom & equality. Instead of a nation where government is in bed with an extremist religious group and big business, where civil liberties are eradicated, you're on the verge of becoming an Gestapo-state, where the inland security can bypass the judicial system, oh now that already partly true.
great state of the world:
China run by a something that is so perverse, it's criminal to call it communism, Marx would turn around in his grave
Russia run by a corrupt president, 8 oligarchs and the Russian mafia
USA run by a conservative, having nazi tendencies on the inland security issues, religieus extremist, selling out to a few instead of thinking about the whole of the population, making a perversion out of the democracy president
