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.

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.

stop getting my country involved in your wars we had a clean fatality record up until recently when our soldiers starting getting blasted off all of a sudden in afghanistan.
i think it
was true, the united states being leader of the free world, maybe in the fifties was when it was especially true.
i've got news for you, down here nowadays it is about the rise of china and the fall of the united states. does
the fall of the united states mean something to you, it means they were, certainly statistically in some aspects,
the superpower of this world but that has all changed because of your broken system of government.
how do your politicians sleep at night and how do they honour the word of american law, the flag and the american people with a clear conscience?
