Thread: America is slipping from superpower status. Will it atleast remain as regional

power in the future? Going by the trend, it looks like it is going to crumble due to economy,war, unemployment..

It is gonna be dwarfed by the Eastern countries..Will it be powerful in the future by 2025

even though our economy is falling, it is still stronger than any other nation on the planet. and Every country's economy is falling apart any way, so while we are falling, they are as well.

Really depends on the new powers that be. I predict America will not even exist then. But I will still be praying for my new pres, even though I don't trust him, their is always hope.

When people with 2-3 dual Citizenship are allow to influence our government = current crisis

Neoconservatives and their goal = Israel

Ann Lewis said " The job of the US President is to bark when Israel demands it "

if you got thousands of nukes... its doubtful you'll ever be invaded... the influence... that can only be recovered by diplomacy... if we stop being A-holes to everyone, maybe we can influence them more.

China in November announced its sweeping economic stimulus package valued at about 4 trillion dollars
spending on its infrastructure, which will requires money from US reserves, putting more pressure on the value of USD.

Since 2004, when the amount of the government bond issuance reached an annual average of $400 billion,
94% of US government bonds have been purchased by China and Japan.It is estimated, The US owe China between 1-2 Trillions.
"There is no wonder the dollar will weaken," said Eisuke Sakakibara, Japan's former top currency official and now
a professor at Waseda University. "The dollar now looks strong for a technical reason. The money the US financial
firms had invested in the world is being repatriated into the homeland, causing dollar-buying.
But once this conversion into the dollars is done, the currency will head south,"

LARGEST INVESTORS IN CHINA HAVE BEEN JAPAN, TAIWAN(HK),KOREA, EU, FOLLOWED BY THE USA.

China is no longer accepting labor based investments. All labor based foreign investments that already existed in China are forced to move to the
poor inland and farming villages to improve the large poor population in the inland China.
China is confident that IT, chemical, bio technology, electronic and service industries can now support the rich coastal cities,
and they are aiming at upgrading the level of economy.

In fact, they have much more advanced stem cell biotechnology. They claim will be able to supply all human blood needed in China within five yrs through

Only a complete imbecile would think that the US will lose super-power status in the next 100 years.

It's a sign that you have no clue what makes America great, and that you got your education from the boob tube. Do yourself a favor: turn the tv off. Liberalism causes permenant brain damage.

Picture this, ya know how, when you flush the toilet, and it starts out kinda slow, and picks up speed, then , all ya hear is this sucking sound?
Can ya picture that?
You also forgot "debt".
Ok, what comes after that "sucking sound?"
Well, we're all gonna find out together.

If we stop electing republicans, America will be back.

Every time we elect republicans America takes a few steps back and a democrat has to come fix it.

They allow religion to drastically cloud their judgment, so people like George Bush and Sarah Palin could be in charge of the most powerful nation in the world. Then we are shocked when George Bush has no clue about what is going on.

Wishful thinking on your part Remember when Japan was going to be the economical super power we were ''stupid and lazy'' Put a cork in it
