You certainly can't defeat that logic.
Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

the Key point that you are missing here genuis.... is that it has been the actual political fiscal and economic policy of the USA since 1945 to ensure that other nations GROW and prosper even at the expense of the USA.
NO one with a brain denies that since 1945 the relative power of the USA in relation to any other major nation or the world as a whole has been in decline. That is by design.
a stronger Europe is a good thing b/c most europeans seem to love to got to war with each other.
a stronger stable Russia is a GOOD thing.
a stronger stable India is a Good thing.
etc etc
all of which is done at the expense --in terms of relative world power -- of the USA
But what your high school almost Moronic argument about the USA is just like the British Empire is well fucking absurd.
it was the POLICY of the Britain from 1815 to 1940 to SCREW everyone and anyone.
The British never ever practice REAL capitalism .... not like in the USA.
IN Britain you had to have the Right education right class right religion.
In the USA we have NEVER given a shit about WHO you are what your education is or where you come from.
Gates and Jobs back in the late 80s and 90s would have never gotten off the ground in the UK b/c they never went to or finished college.
Larry Page & Sergey Brin started Google in the USA.....
NOT in China or France or Germany or Russia or Brazil.

What's that, Europe? Our GDP is still trillions above yours (even trillions above the EU as a whole), and our military can still wipe each and every one of you out with overwhelming force? Haha, we're the ones who should be laughing.

The EU already is a greater economic force than the USA.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)
IMF GDP estimates 2009
EU: 16.4trl USD
USA: 14.2trl USD
Given the enlargement of the EU into eastern Europe, strong growth can be expected in future years as well, and the growth we're seeing here is being led by Germany too. So, basically you're talking shit

The only nations in Europe to offer Gay Marriage are Iceland, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Belgium, Spain, and Sweden. 7 countries on that continent. Notice the words "gay marriage" though.
