The title pretty much sums it up. Is this something we simply tell ourselves or is it the global consensus?

I was thinking about this today and I'm not sure. My husband said fact because of our size and military.

Strongest? Yes. Greatest? That’s pretty subjective, but in general yes.

We are without question the most powerful nation on earth. Anyone who tells you otherwise is retarded. China will catch up soon though.

It is the global consensus. I don’t care what the democrats and the media tell you. Go and visit the rest of the world and they will tell you how great America is. Some reluctantly.

Today? - Fact

Ever? - Roman Empire might have a claim to most powerful ever because 2000 years ago they controlled a giant percentage of the civilized world.

This has nothing to do with greatest/most powerful. Words, they mean things external to your opinions.

Why is Canada in this discussion? They’re barely a real country.
