I'm not worried about us not being a superpower, or the only superpower. I am worried about the other countries that could be the next superpower, who do not like us, and would happily see us squished under their metaphorical feet.

I do think that the government needs to focus more on the problems at home and a bit less on the problems in other countries. Especially since the times they decide to get involved usually are only in the countries where we have an economic interest. They just like to pretend it's for altruistic reasons.

Slightly off topic, what is your opinion of the upcoming election? More specifically the two main candidates.
