And speaking of this weak ass defense you’ve got going, let’s take it one step higher. Do you think developing countries should use America as the shining example of what to be? Surely there are better countries in the world to strive to emulate than America.
I think they should take what works and leave what doesn’t. There are a lot of great things about the US, alongside the not so great things. Why shouldn’t other countries emulate the things that are fantastic here (e.g. our national parks/public land programs as one example).
Just like we should look at things that work in other countries and see if they can improve QOL here. Every place in the world has its good qualities and bad. The US isn’t special in that regard.

This is their question. Read the post.

That’s probably a typo, read the title.

Wait… our national parks are the example you came up with?
