#21
i could be wrong, but i dont think canada has a very big army..and really the only peace-keeping they do is when they support the US, which they almost always do

china will be super power very soon, how many things aren't made in china?

please, someone move this to flame wars.

mathalamus, you really don't know what you're talking about. First, it's hard to respect the opinions of a 14 year old that can't spell and doesn't know that a territory named Taiwan exists (I won't call it a country--even though I believe so--because it's debateable). Your mistake's aren't typos--you just don't know how to spell.

"Radioation"--that's pretty interesting.

Presently, China is already a superpower. It's economy is growing incredibly fast because there aren't very many restrictions, as in the USA. It has already invested in nuclear technology.

Don't get me wrong. I hate the Chinese policies of mass murder and other torture. But you simply can't overlook or "predicit" that China will be a superpower--since it already is.

I wouldn't consider Russia a superpower anymore, though they have a great amount of arms and biological weapons.


Does anyone else sense mathalamus' mental retardation?
Or even all his spam posts?

Does anyone else have a hard time understanding mathalamus?

Did you check that up in ur Star Trek archives?
Apparently so:
Quote:taiwan (wtf is taiwan??)
Quote: star trek akso says that india was a superpower

Or did you ask your mom about that?
Quote: well india is a good contry but my moms says that there warlike so if we give them that power BAM! the worlds india

Is this discussion supposed to be in the least bit realistic or intelligent?

lol. and i might add that a country's greatness is not always determined by the number of WMDS it has. i will stick with Sun Tzu (The Art of War) in saying the greatest power is economic. also the greatest battle is one that a single drop of blood has not been dropped

geez major of topicness....
and interesting has brought up many a good point of math's retardation
that first point i think means that if india or china officaly become a S.P. ,U.S.A may most likely invest in the production of more nukes( i think that what that means)
the second one mybe : if usa attacks the tower china will some how blame canada
ok wtf were u thinking math!!!

so mob u might think that it would come down to an economy battle?

It is already an economic battle. Since the thread was who should be a superpower and not who is (or should be) why not open it up to a few other nations as well? How 'bout Great Britian restoring it's greatness? or maybe making the Cayman Islands a new country (they are currently a British colony if I remember correctly) and having them be a new superpower ( I love a lot of their banking and social prgrams...)? Both India and China are virtual superpowers already? Russia was a superpower but due to problems with their economy have fallen short. What country has the greatest social and economic freedom? Maybe that would be a good topic for flame wars....

I think that the creater of this thread does not exactly know what he is talking about. Look at the name of the thread:

"Who shold be a superpower if usa ever wind down?"

Namely, it implies two conditions that are questionable.

1) It implies that USA has not wound down yet. That is debateable.
2) It implies that there can only be one superpower at a time. As already discussed, that is incorrect. Also, one should state, a superpower in which aspect. Any country with WMDs has the potential of being a militaristic superpower. Any country with a prospering economy and necessary population, such as China, could be a superpower. There can be numerous superpowers in the world in numerous aspects.

Bloodangel26 Wrote:the title of this thread should be "who will be the next superpower" not who SHOULD be....because it probably will not be canada, but we can only hope its someone as civilized and non-violent instead of a country like china

You hope that they would be just as civilized and non-violent as you, Americans? I hope not.

mathalamus-a Wrote:taiwan is a rouge part of china first settled by japan later sezied by china

Taiwan, being a separate nation, has every right to be independent.

Yeah, almost like the americans to the middle east. As the white settlers to the native indians of America.

Your opinions on the position of America in world affairs humour me.

and your opinions of america make me shake my head. first off, yes america is still the most powerful country in the world. if it wasnt, china would probably have invaded half of asia already. sure america has been in a few wars that maybe it should not have been, but it was always trying to help someone. how is that uncivilized and warlike? as an eastern european you should have a better perspective on this...since your country was right there in the middle of hitler and stalin? speaking of which, was your country one of those that the US completely rebuilt after you "civilized" europeans tore the crap out of eachother in ww2? if it wasnt, then its one of like 5. after all the US has done for europe, you'd think it would get a little more respect over there....

You think that the only reason for why China has not invaded half of Asia is because of America's "might"? Since when was China going to invade Asia anyway? This is not WWIII. Who was America trying to help by invading Iraq? Maybe help it's own citizens by eliminating high gas prices?

Yes, my little country did get in the way of both invaders, Hitler and Stalin. You think that it was our idea to invade The Soviet Union with our population of 1.3 million? Imagine that.

No, the US did not help to rebuild Estonia after WWII. I remember that there was some kind of "Marshall aid" or something, in which Americans offered help to European countries to get us out of crises, but having been annexed by the Soviet Union, we were not allowed to accept that aid. So no, I cannot recall America ever doing anything for us.

You are questioning the "civilization" of the Europeans? Well, at least we didn't nearly exterminate an entire race. You cannot judge Europeans by the actions of one leader, Hitler. Russians are Asians, not Europeans.
