remember that time the fricking pope tried to kill hitler

You know I was reading a bunch of history articles right now and I realized, the US invented nukes, the US won ww2, then the US won the space race, then the US helped set up the post ww2 rules based order, then they invented the microchip, then the US helped set up international organizations like the world trade organization, after this they invented the smartphone, after that they invented CRISPR, after that they invented AI, after that they are currently working on humanoid robots.

Basically the US has been stacking wins decade on decade and that is why they are the most powerful country in the world, and every 20 to 30 years one country surpasses them in one single field and everybody thinks the US led world order is ending.

It's kinda crazy how much of the modern world is just the American inventions world.

It's even crazier that in the 20th century multiple major inventions were still being created by non-Americans.

Funnily enough the British invented the internet.

If you look at the 21st century inventions list though, the list is now far heavier with American inventors than the previous century, suggesting that the US has actually advanced a whole lot further up in the tech and creation department in comparison to the previous century, leaving only nation states like South Korea and Japan at best to provide any additional relevant technologies.

I honestly think there will come a point in time where only the US will be inventing major stuff and all the other nation states will just by the research supply chain that flows up towards the US for final product creation.
