But you get the odd American who comes along and just basically says "Yeah we're the best country no question. If it wasn't for us the rest of the world would be speaking German, we are the strongest most morally perfect nation ever",

 

Sprechen Sie Deutsches?

You're welcome.

And Tyranical prooves my point in a spectacular manner... Well done... How's the weather up there on your pedestal your most condesending highness???

 

 Aaaaah, so you don't speak German?  Thanks for proving my point in a spectacular manner.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
