Indeed, they should learn a little something from us.
Yeah. We kept our Empire as the Commonwealth and kept our friends but America only has interests....and Israel. ;this:

Traditional land empires were frowned upon after WWII. The hegemony of the USA in the second half of the century was as close as you were likely to get at that time.

America being the dominant power was setting the rules. Just white feather politics the whole time with them.

Pedantic much. Guns, rifles, knives; they're all the same thing.

A national obsession with guns and capital punishment. DEATH resides at the core of the American psyche.

Only 3 of 10 adult Americans owns a gun.

1/4 of the United States does not have the death penalty at all. The number of death sentences carried out in the last 12 years has dropped by about 55%.

Out of only he countries in the world that have capital punishment, the US ranks 12th in executions, despite being second in total population.
