Title: US is in decline
Post by: astarmathsandphysics on October 07, 2008, 01:57:52 pm
In about 10 year's time the US will be the 2nd most powerful country behind China. That makes me a little bit scared, but then I remember India. One day it will be the most powereful and democratic. If hope is what ou want, there itr is.

I have a dream. China gets angry and decides to give America a slap. They sink an aircraft carrier. What a dream!

The biggest not the strongest. Anyway they are so corrupt, before they go to war they will probably sell their weapons to the enemy to buy opium.

I don't say the US isn't corrupt. Almost every US President for the past 40 years has been caught in a lie or with their hand in the till.

nah, america imports most of china's goods, so china's main customer is america, so attacking america means that china will have a hard time later... its very unlikely for china to do anything other then wait for the money to be repaid, then wish that america is no more the best customer. then china can have a go ;D

China wants to be top country, and if they suffer because America is in recession that is a small price to pay.

If the US has a recession, Chinese economic growth will fall from 10% to 9%. So?

the US is already in a recession, bad time for Obama to become president.
