“Whichever country is the most influential and powerful in the world at any given time is the greatest “ - your words. I stand by my conviction that is bologna. Thank God Nazi Germany did not win the war, but they were in the running to be the greatest country of all time decades ago, and had they won they certainly would have influenced posterity obviously. But guess what? That Wouldn’t make them great. Far from it actually. Just like China - whatever the future holds for them. Because, again, power and influence doesn’t equal greatness.
