but we are not insignificant.we merely have politicians who would like us to believe it
we have a permanent seat on the UN security council
more money goes through our stock market than tokyo, germany and the us combined
our language is spoken in more places than anywhere on earth
Europe imports more from us than we do from them
we have the most stable and trusted currency in the world.
and we are better at rowing than everyone else.
