Sadly, we spend more on our death machine than the next 6 highest nations combined.
No one is coming to check our bullshit. Literally the only thing the US actually excels at is the creation and export of mass human death, and we save the best doomsday tools for ourselves. What a legacy. Imagine being proud of such a thing, and many are. Well, that and self-promotion, aka as George Carlin pointed out, the art of bullshittery.
And by the way, between all the genocide, Jim Crow, socialist regime destabilization, and Klan rallies, some like to crow "we were heroes in WWII!" No, heroes save others to save others. Our pacific fleet was decimated. The war came to us and we fought back. That's not nobility, that's self-preservation, not good or bad, just self-preservation under attack. We were begged to help and said no prior, and the US was quite fond eugenics before the war and practiced it both before and a little after WWII, involuntarily sterilizing people in asylums. Our capitalists like Ford were helping the Nazis for a tidy profit. Go fish if you want to think well of this exploitation torture device called the United States.
