Um the USA is more influential largely becuase you have 9 times the population that we have. yes 9 TIMES THE POPULATION, that means a greater economic, and military power. How could you expect us to compete due to the population difference.
Not to mention that the USA is far more willing to attack, and fight with other countries, which makes other countries afraid of you and therefore makes you more influential.
No one wants to make the USA mad at them, except for maybe Russia, China (and North Korea for some reason), other large military powers, who the USA doesn't want to mess with.
Yes the USAs willingness to kill people makes them more influential, and that can be tied in a way to the death penalty, but its hardly relevant to the conversation. |
