For me I think that America was not a failed nation it just got many debts, that's all. Debts can be repaid in due time but the fact that america has the largest military ever and with NSA spying on everyone I wont say that it is a failed nation. America has proven a lot in the past and in the present and is still treated as one of the powerful countries right now and a country. At least that is what I think of now but it might change in the future.
