    Not the most powerful country, he’s the leader of the most increasingly trivial and memeable country on the planet. He is personally turning it to shit and that will be his legacy for all time. Donepezil Don can’t possibly comprehend how shitty he is, much less basic plot points from Star Wars…

      I’m all for shitting on the US when it’s due, but to say the US isn’t the most (potentially) powerful country is an outright lie

      Although as I wrote that I realized theirs 2 different meanings. I, and i believe the original comment, are talking raw power. As in all the military power combined. Which there’s no one that comes close.

      Actual power as in like control you’ve got it spot on

        That’s a great point. I was thinking entirely based on their economic influence and not military.

        The power the US has for raw destruction is scary and needs to be addressed very seriously. I mean they’re still doing stupid stuff like dropping planes in the ocean and revealing bombing plans through Signal, but it’s important to remember that a group of children literally hold nuclear codes. Thanks for that reminder!

      I would argue that currently the USA has the most economic influence and military power of any country. But given the current laughable leadership and it’s policies, this might change in the near future.
