“Most powerful empire the world has ever known”

Lol Americans

The Romans conquered the known world with pointy sticks and diplomacy.

The US hasn’t been on the winning side since ww2 despite having nukes and spyplanes.

Even the British Empire spanned the globe, and all they had was cannons, rum, and syphilis.

Pff in Australia I can travel over 2000km in a straight line and never leave my state, and it’s not even the biggest.
