you have just destroyed yourselves, i shouldn't need to explain. because of that, china is now i think the worlds top superpower and they have the opportunity to lead this world, it was just handed to them by another superpower with a broken system of government.

i can tell you for a fact that every single person i've asked irl no one gives a shit about being leader of the free world.
in fact it's a dead term
The "Leader of the Free World" is a colloquialism, first used during the Cold War, to describe either the United States or the President of the United States. The term, when used in this context, suggests that the United States is the principal democratic superpower, and the U.S. President is, by extension, the leader of the world's democratic states, i.e. the "Free World". The phrase had its origin in the late 1940s, and has become more widely used since the early 1950s.
It was heavily referenced in American foreign policy up until the dissolution of the Soviet Union in December 1991,
and has since fallen out of use, in part due to its usage in anti-American rhetoric.
