Why do republican Americans get defensive whenever Europeans talk about themselves. Are they insecure that we are a more powerful economy or do they not like our liberal take on things?

It's not a more powerful economy.

It's a bigger one but the lack of focus makes it weaker.

It's like having the worlds strongest man fight an MMA fighter.  The MMA fighter despite having less power would kick the strongman's ass because the MMA fighter has more control.

I mean even Samuel will attest to that.

Power is more then pure numbers... it's the ability to get things done with those numbers.

 


I assume you're referring to me... and you're right, I do agree with what your saying. I also think the EU will become "one voice" before any other body comes close to challenging the US economic super-power status. So, yeah, the EU will be the next superpower, it'll take a long time for the transition to happen, first.
