Glenn Beck: ‘This Is the Week That America Lost Its Superpower Status’

“Write it down in your calendars, because this is the week that America lost its superpower status,” Glenn Beck said on his weekday radio program Tuesday.

Beck was speaking about the international response to the conflict in Syria, and asserted that it has been Russia, not the United States, that has emerged looking like a competent leader.

This is particularly the case after the country offered to take control of Syria’s chemical weapons, thereby potentially averting an international conflict, Beck said.

“When I saw the story that Putin came out and said, ‘I just was wrestling a bear here about 10 minutes ago…and I called up Assad and I said, ‘Hey! You’re gonna give me your chemical weapons.’ And he said, ‘Okay, dude.’ After [Putin] made that statement and then the president said, ‘Okay, uh, we could do that…’ I thought to myself…we’re done as a superpower,” Beck said. “He has just put the final nail in the coffin.”
