t0shi0 You know how right now USA is all great and powerful, do you think that's gonna change and China is going to become the next world power? Of course USA would fall, here's an article for you my dear 3nodding
The Eagle Has Crash Landed
quoting the pararaph:
Quote: Pax Americana is over. Challenges from Vietnam and the Balkans to the Middle East and September 11 have revealed the limits of American supremacy. Will the United States learn to fade quietly, or will U.S. conservatives resist and thereby transform a gradual decline into a rapid and dangerous fall?
A few excerpts:
Quote: Undoubtedly, the military remains the United States strongest card; in fact, it is the only card. Today, the United States wields the most formidable military apparatus in the world... ...Bear in mind that of the three serious wars the U.S. military has fought since 1945 (Korea, Vietnam, and the Gulf War), one ended in defeat and two in draws Saddam Hussein?s army is not that of the Taliban, and his internal military control is far more coherent. A U.S. invasion ... would likely suffer significant casualties... The United States may twist the arms of regimes in the region, but popular sentiment clearly views the whole affair as reflecting a deep anti-Arab bias in the United States. Can such a conflict be won? The British General Staff has apparently already informed Prime Minister Tony Blair that it does not believe so.
Quote: This contrast embodies the oldest story in the history of hegemonic powers. The dominant power concentrates (to its detriment) on the military; the candidate for successor concentrates on the economy. The latter has always paid off, handsomely. It did for the United States. Why should it not pay off for Japan as well, perhaps in alliance with China?
etc etc.
Quite an interesting article, read it when you have time 3nodding Very educational.
Note this is written in 2002, pre-Iraqi war. however the predictions are quite accurate.
P.S. you have 2 kiki kitties, I'm stalking you whee
