    OPs question is not about whether you can objectively define that a country is ‘’great’’

    No, but its formulation seems to imply that there is such a definition, that the US obviously don’t satisfy it but that a lot of americans mistakenly believe that it does.

    Also, feels a bit strange that you address that response to the one comment (ok, one of the two ) that address that point rather than to any of the ones who assume that the US are objectively not a great country.

      The definition doesn’t exist, but yet, yes, many Americans do believe it still.
