Hegemony

It is known that the U.S. cannot inevitably maintain its dominance forever. Perhaps militarily, but not economically. They astoundingly overtook the British, so who will take the risk of challenging the status quo in years to come?

Consider the annual economic growth rates of China, in light of the partial recovery from the Asian Financial Crisis. Also, the percieved combined threat of the BRIC nations.

This is not a question of whether or not it will occur, but when? Make your predictions, and be careful not to underestimate.
i know our military fleets are rather malnourished at the moment, but our economy is quite on par with the states, and there is no where to go but up..*so who knows, may someday the 2nd largest country in the world may have to lead the way.. Winking
..but then again, i'd much rather live in a world of peaceful, intelligent, tolerant people.

Seems that you have to work on this relationship.. fast and hard..
Good luck to you, Coz USA is already lost and sold out..
USA is like UPCOMING show to us all, like a movie trailer it may happen it may not. Or change may happen under the way...
The free world can not investing in such an unstable up and downs.
The whole damn America is Hollywood, starting with the white house creep show?...
""I think at the end of the day, your average person in the world doesn't give a rats ass about being competitive,...""
Nonsense.

What's more, the government and its people are not always of the same mind. I am thinking of the resistance against diplomatic relations b/w the Russia and China stemming from anti-Chinese sentiments among citizens.
My inquiry disregards the people, and focuses only on the government.
"I think at the end of the day, your average person in the world doesn't give a rats ass about being competitive, they have a hard enough time just making a living."

i so agree with this statement..'i really don't care who's number 1, or who isn't. Countries and nations should just grow up, be the best they can be, get along and call it a day. The average person has enough on their mind.'
The Nr 1is US and their wining complex WIN WIN to dealing with anyone, assholes with the A-bomb and attitude....
I really wish the situation turns over somewhere/somehow in the course of history?just to see how tough these asshole/bastards are.
Fucking Americans..
Round them up? move'em out? bunch of stupid cattle's ..
It's pretty forseeable- who has the power to potentially overturn the tables. But we should ask ourselves not only who holds the power, but who has the motivation?

Let's talk politics.
