I'm old enough to remember the United States as a country that won two World Wars, won a Cold War, went to the moon, and had a reputation - deserved or not - as a shining beacon of freedom and democracy. Respected or feared by the entire world.

Now it's a country run by a paedophile fascist with dementia, elected twice by an equally mentally feeble populace - causing consternation and concern around the world.

Americans should be ashamed of themselves. But of course they aren't because they're not actually capable of feeling shame.

At least they tried to hide it, now they don't.

As for the cold war, if you consider the conflict USA-USSR they clearly won: Russia was, at least at some point, equally powerful to the USA technologically and militarly, what one did first, the other caught up pretty quickly, then the Soviet Government collapsed for various reasons, and they couldn't catch up, now the USA is arguably the most technologically advanced country in the world, in many aspects.

China is catching up, but they are in no way equally capable.
