What country are you moving to to show your belief in a better way of life?
What country in the history of humanity ever didn't make war or conquer other lands but still achieved any sort of success?
Show me a country that didn't or doesn't make war, and I'll show you a country that is under the protection of another country that does.
Conflict and war are human nature. Can't get away from it unfortunately. As long as you criticize your fellow man / woman, there will be war. The 7 sins are our downfall.
Regardless of our faults, America is still the greatest nation in the history of the world and has done more for humanity than any other nation. This ties to my original comment. To evaluate anyone or anything by a single vector is inappropriate. I have lots of complaints about the USA including its slide into idiocracy as you alluded to. But overall it's still at or near the top, and again it has the power to defend itself and determine its own course, whereas any other place you may prefer likely doesn't and relies on political alliances for its defense.
IтАЩll give you unique. America began with great promise and a wealth of intellect. But making the argument that weтАЩre still the greatest country on earth sets the bar low. We have no superiority politically, morally or culturally regarding our values over anyone and with the passage of time a lot less wisdom. Great empires endure, but our great American brand of hubris isnтАЩt selling well as of late. Too many of our neighbors around the globe have lost respect for us and rightfully so. Hell, IтАЩm not as proud to be American as I once was. IтАЩm just glad the bastards havenтАЩt silenced the independent press yet though not for lack of effort.
Ask the people of Venezuela about how much America had done for them; or the millions slaughtered in Korea, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Serbia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria,Libya etc. America is a failed state, lawless and murderous.
Jennifer, if you actually want to persuade people to your point of view, why not respond to their rebuttals rather than repeat the same thing over and over?
The 'greatest nation on earth' will go down in History as warmongers.
IF you had educated people this would not be happening!

Nation-states are neither bad nor good, they're merely interesting to varying degrees.
Wonderfully Stated!ЁЯСПЁЯЖУЁЯЗ║ЁЯЗ╕
Telling the"if you had educated people..." either excluding or excusing yourself
You have to be a troll account. No one could be this absurd.
I suppose you mean Germany? or the UK? or who?
You keep parroting this silly statement. Gaslight on!
