The Rising Countries

[wang tang]

ok...so its obvious that the U.S is not gonna be in top place as the worlds most powerful country for long.so what do you think the next top dog is,personally,i think its china,their a communism that has free enterprise systems. Their economic and Political ways of life are rising and falling at the same time(natural disasters,and yet,other stuff increases)

so what do you think?

[NaruxHina_4_Ever]

I would put my money on either China or possibly India but seriously I can't see America being down or out for that long and it will probably be a major player for a while yet. Also economically and technologically don't forget Japan.

[Dark Naruto]

I'd think it would be China because so far the US econemy's money is losing and their increasing prices and so far they said China is going to be top dog and my friend demon fox cloak naruto says that we might end up going to another depression.

[NejiTaker]

China's been the country on the rise for a while lol. As wang tang has said, China does seem to have a mix of communism and capitalism that just works for them. Economically, they're skyrocketing and they might become a superpower within the next 50 years. Not that long if you think about it. Even though by then I'll be like 66, lol.

I'm pretty sure that China is already considered a superpower. But IDK if that's changed because of those earthquakes.

No one will. Humans are going to vanish.

I don't think so.
As far as I know China hasn't exploded(meaning they still have bombs)


No one will. Humans are going to vanish.

And you say I'm the dark one, Venus.

And Humans aren't going to vanish completely, the majority of Humans will, but not all of us.

Just because a nation has nuclear weapons doesn't mean it's a superpower. There are hundreds of nations out there w/ nukes, but they aren't considered superpowers. You've got to take into consideration the economy, and other stuff I can't remember (I'm certain technology was somewhere in there...).

True, but in this day and age you can't be a Superpower without any.
Or you can but it would be extremely hard.

False. They're part of the 5 nations of the Security Council, that doesn't make them the head of the U.N. They are also not the only ones who can go against the "stated" (I'll assume you mean States) in the United Nations meeting.

This thread reminded me of the newsweek article that I read. If you're looking for a link: http://www.newsweek.com/id/135380

[wang tang]

ok...i was thinking,do you really think that america will really let people become a super power of the world...i mean,as the most powerful country in every attribute,do you really think the govt. is gonna let somebody surpass us?

[salazar]

It doesn't matter what the U.S.A want. Super powers are created and fall through history of man and that is not going to change. Nobody can rule for ever.
Well as i see it the world is going for a third world war and this time nobody is going to be the bad guy. Since the population grows and the resources become less and less and with the environmental problems that are being created country's are gone start conflicts over the remaining resources with a resold of a world conflict. Now who ever gets alive from that is gone a rise as a new power. But as i see it everything count change so much that nobody knows what is gone happen after that war and even if people are gone a make it.

[wang tang]

okay...even if a world war does start...no matter how many bombs other countries have...the U.S has nuclear submarines...we can take out cities and be back home before they even know it was us

[salazar]

The U.S is not the only country with nuclear submarines and even if it was things are not that easy as you think.
And if nuclear weapons are used in a war then no country is gone get out of it unharmed. The whole world is gone a lye in ruins.
If you think that the U.S can hit someone with a nuclear submarine and his not gone a realize it was them you really are diluting your self.
War is not a game and when things get going nobody is gone stay untouched no matter how strong he might think he is. Horror is gone a spread every ware.Especially with the weapons of the 21st century.
People in the U.S never actually saw the true horror of war inside there country they never saw children lying dead in the streets bombs falling on there houses.They never saw there wifes and children dieing in front of them. The panic the sickness the madness, death every ware. That's why you think is gone be easy like a game. I can tell you one thing. There isn't a movie or a game that comes even close to the true horrible feelings of reality. Do not take war this lightly.

[jirayassecret]

i don't think the U.S. is going down soon, China is still a ways off as far as infrastructure goes. just look at their earthquake for example. that cannot happen to us here in the states with an equivalent disaster. they may make it and they might not. depends on how long they can dupe they're people into working for pennies. look what happened to Russia. they were there and down again in just 50 years.
