Then I would suggest you start reading some non-American history books and consulting some non-American news media, because all of America's history books and news media exist only so as to glorify the USA and its founders in the name of Manifest Destiny.
Who says the world needs a single nation as its leader? Why does it have to come down to a choice between three evils? That's just as retarded as G.W. Bush's
"If you're not with us, then you're against us" rhetoric.
After the fall of the Soviet Union, the world was multipolar, and there was a balance. But that's not what the US of America wants. The US of America wants a monopolar world, in which the US of America is the leader. The USA wants to
westernize the whole world, albeit that it will want to preserve some smaller non-assimilated regions as an enemy, even if only because the Pentagon's needs for bloodshed through sophisticated weaponry have to be met, and you cannot legally invade anything anymore if the whole world is on the same page. So it'll want to preserve some "pariah" nations, just for the sake of having an enemy they can occasionally bully.
Besides, as I've said before, the USA isn't even morally equipped to
be the world's leader — neither are Xi nor Putin, for that matter — because the USA thrives on shallowness, appearances, blind consumerism, shameless exploitation and social inequality, and it has a serious knee-jerk problem whenever the word "socialism" is thrown on the table. That's why the American left fucked Bernie Sanders over — not once but twice — because Bernie
is a socialist and socialism goes in against the ego-driven
American Dream™.
Europe is old — not necessarily wise, but old enough to have learned from its mistakes. Russia is old. China is old. India is old. Japan is old. The USA has only been around for less than three centuries, has made
all of the mistakes in the book — including genocide, both with and without nuclear weapons — and
still continues to make all of those very same mistakes over and over again. It hasn't even learned anything from its experiences, because being a narcissistic and self-righteous brat, it doesn't have the mental acuity or wisdom to do so. The USA isn't fit to be the leader of the world, because it
knows nothing of the world, given that it's way too busy masturbating to its own reflection in the mirror.
I for one don't want the USA to be the leader of the world. I don't want any nation to be the leader of the world. Nations are artificial constructs anyway. I want wisdom and harmony to lead humanity, because some exceptions notwithstanding, almost every human being has the capacity to attain wisdom, and through it, to establish harmony.
To hell with nationalism, and to hell with the agendas of political elites, power brokers and lobbyists.
