If you go back through history the greatest advancements have always come from the richest countries, they just have the resources to do those things. American athletes are bragging about how they’re the best in the world as they compete with people who lack basic equipment and have proper jobs. I remember some Olympic swimmer who had never even been in an Olympic size swimming pool before he got to the event.

America got rich because when the rest of the Allies were fighting the Nazis they sat back and loaned resources, then spent the next 5 decades taking repayments.
