Reply #4: Russia [View All]

[justinsb]

It wasn't my intention to say Russians are far superior, or that the US did not play a great role.

This was more aimed at the perception among many Americans that they are unique in their patriotism, devotion or willingness to sacrifice for their beliefs and their country. I do not think that there is a single nation on Earth whose people do not meet those criteria (or at least a large portion of their population.)

It is, in large part, the U.S. feeling of superiority and underestimation of people elsewhere in the world that has lead to many of its foreign policy blunders and its staggering debt.
