Yeah but those places weren't America, they were just a place.
America is special, because it was founded by people who wanted to be free, not founded by some warlords who wanted to rule over others. There is a France today because some people conquered and area and set themself up to rule. Should France be destroyed, then that will be the end of it.
Should America be destroyed, even to the point where the land that is America is just radioactive wasteland, then it can be refounded anywhere else: the Russian steppes, the island of Malta, the moon. All that are required is the idea of freedom.
But ideas can and will die if they are not nurtured by people who believe in them. This girl could have grown up to strengthen America, but now she will instead learn that thinking is dangerous, that curiosity should be oppressed, that blind obedience is the only thing that will keep you safe, that questions are treason.
Wow, the Chosen Nation much?
Nations have been rebuilt thriving ages and it is not something unique. Take Poland for example. The country was gone for 123 years, yet it is back, catching up to the European level.
There's nothing "special" about your country, sorry to break it to you.
Yes, it still is powerful on global scale, but keep doing what you are doing and you won't be for long.
I live in Europe and stuff I hear about that goes on in the US makes me stop and wonder.

And that can destroy America.
