Why is the US such a powerful country?

India, China, Russia and Brazil all have lots of natural resources and large populations but are not close to being as powerful. I believe the reason the USA is so powerful is the constitution that makes all people free and when people are free, TRULY FREE they create jobs and technology that enpower the people and enlighten the world.

1. Large continent with all the resources you could want. Oil, wood, gold, wheat, fish, freshwater, etc.
2. Created by colonialism. It was never an old and rich country that was destroyed by colonialism.
3. Far away from any threats. Never had to face any mass loss of life or entire cities destroyed due to WW1, WW2, or any other war.
4. Far away from any threats #2. The rich and able bodied are the ones able to leave countries in conflict, and can go to places without conflict. Enriching their new homeland while the ones they leave suffer.
5. Far away from any threats #3. Since most industries in Europe/Asia are destroyed, US is free to produce everything. Industry is massively boosted. Also has the money as a result to buy and own al the things around the world.
6. Using all these massive privileges, the US is able to sabotage the rest of the world and stay on top.
7. British empire legacy. The british empire was built on an english based, military driven model. The US was english and rich enough to produce that military. It slid right into to replace it.

US power exists mainly due to geography.
China has been a victim of colonialism, and being close to conflict.
Russia has been a victim of conflict. Invaded, sanctioned, embargoed, etc from day 1.

Then why does Canada suck ass?
You basically have this exact list except you're even less likely to get invaded and you had the "British empire legacy" longer and would be the rightful torch bearer. And #2 is BS we had to fight the British and you cucks backing them during the revolution, then in 1812, and then we fought against ourselves in civil war.

Canada was subordinate to the British empire.
Canada then became subordinate to the US empire. It was a clean transition.

The US revolution was a minor conflict. No loss of life or industry. Same with the civil war. Nothing comparable to the 20th century.
The US was created from scratch due to colonialism. Richer older countries at the time were destroyed and plundered by colonialism.

>>56240593
Canada doesn't suck ass it just has a very small population
>>
>>56241154
It doesn't suck ass as country.
It sucks ass if you put it up against USA and wonder why they didn't end up like America being the rightful barer of the torch for the British Empire.

You know in your heart of hearts that if the British people would pick the next super power after them they would pick loyal Canada over rebellious traitorous USA.

Like I said their population is small, gdp per capita wise they're very good. It's the reason i didn't include any European countries except Russia because our populations are just too small to compete and our lands can not sustain hundreds of millions of people comfortably.

Canada, you're one of my best friends, and I love you. However you, individual Canadian, clearly do not know our country's history.

You may not tell me about my own country. In particular, you especially may not characterize the civil war that we fought and won, as "a minor conflict". Our civil war dragged on for four years, claimed hundreds of thousands of lives, and resulted in multiple American cities being literally destroyed, in that same bombed-out way that much of Europe was destroyed during WWII, and Syria has been destroyed today. This is the most bombed-out that America ever was, outside of Detroit's slow decay and muh 9/11, which also included a pentagon strike and a crash which had had white house ambitions, never forget :^). Funnily, even Abraham Lincoln used the phrase "never forget" in his Gettysburg Address, anticipating today's meme.

Although I understand your point about our revolutionary period as being "pre-industrial", felicitous, special etc, and a tri-corner hat-wearing meme to which the average American no longer relates, this is untrue of our civil war. White people and black people, north and south, have a stake in that story. Gear from the war circulates freely, and is not exceptionally rare or valuable. It is a history that relevantly explains present states of affairs. American time is really marked with reference to it: "B.C.W., A.C.W."
