USA still thinks of itself as very important, ccc.
The USA is not sentient. The people are. Just like where you live there are ALL KINDS of people. It just so happens we have complete twats running the country and economy.
Like all things, this is temporary.
I'm afraid "temporary" has had a really long run, so far. I suppose it depends on your timescale, or just semantic issues of denotation vs. connotation.
I don't consider anything that's "unlikely to change in my lifetime" to be temporary, because from my mortal perspective, it's permanent.
If people were truly so unhappy with the status quo, there'd be less of it. ;-)
