who should be a superpower if usa ever winds down?

[Mathalamus]

i agree with none of the poll options... Australia should be

although we dont have the people we have the technology. besides that australians are usually very intelligent / smart

i am not saying this because im australian but because we wouldnt do stupid things not mentioning anything...laugh:.

also we would be the least likely to use the power... you think about it the us does w/e they feel like. china would do something probally become supreme rulers of korea or something. canada would be the most likely be be australian like and i forgot the other poll options

thats shit talk...australia has no military..barely populated and its on an island so the subs will run out before reaching china lol
austraila is a former british penal colony

[Spitfire]

Australia might not have huge military forces but their elite... If I remember correctly didn’t USA have to call in the Australian Special Forces (SAS) for the beginning of the leg work and capturing the head figures?

Quality is often better than quantity :p

"While the number of Australian personnel involved in operations was small in proportion to the overall coalition force, our highly-trained and well-equipped forces contributed significantly to the success of the mission," Senator Hill said.

Australia might be a former British penal colony but as you said FORMER that is in the past. Australia is a much nicer place to live and a much better community than the Brits will ever have. And it shits them off something chronic. I think you need to find out facts and figures before spinning off crap like our subs not being able to reach china yada yada... Do some research into wars and see where the Aus forces have actually gone too and the range of submarines :p

[FraterPerdurabo]

yes i will admit that is true....but if i remember correctly, and i might not, the russians still were not getting anywhere on the eastern front and might not have at all if the west front wasnt opened

The Russians were actually very successful on the Eastern front, just because of their superior numbers. I may be getting my dates wrong here, but they first started the invasion of Estonia in November 1944. Some of the biggest battles of WWII were fought under Narva, Estonia, since that's were Hitler drew a line that no Russian was to pass. The first invasion, mentioned above, in November 1944 was fought off, but they did manage to break our lines in early 1945, in January I think, and only because they decided to attack from below the lake of Peipsi. Peipsi is one of the biggest lakes in Europe (5th biggest, I think), and Russians could not break through the defences that we had set up at Narva, so they had to march all the way from under Estonia, take Latvia, and then attack us from the South, so we had basically been flanked and could not do much more.

C-Man619 do you really expect us to believe that story? Your history teacher told you? I mean who the **** would have chronicled that? The Canadian soldier? If so, then you guys are very gullible. Please try to keep your bed time stories out of this discussion. And this thing of: "being afraid of each others' soldiers" is bullshit. If you saw an enemy, you ****ing shot him, you didn't have time to be scared. Also, it's not like you shat your pants before the battle: "Oh I'm faceing Canadians, god come and help me!". There is something called military training and discipline.

russia easily cuz no one f*cks with a mad russian NO ONE!!!

Everyone ****s with people that **** with them. Just hope that you become one of those "mad Russians" that are sent into battle en masse as cannon fodder.

thats shit talk...australia has no military..barely populated and its on an island so the subs will run out before reaching china lol
austraila is a former british penal colony

The U.S. started out as a colony as well. Where's your point?

[Mathalamus]

hmm...never mind all my shit talk...
i just got off of wikipedia and the 3 potential superpowers are: china, India and the European union
i really dont want a 12 line posts its too long and usually has no point
if any1 lives in the USA while India and/or china (they both secretly hate the USA) u might want to go north if china and/or India started launching nukes to USA (Canada might be affected...) or south to Mexico or any other peace like country
the us was a colony but already it was powerful enof to over throw the Brits (thanks to superpower Brits in the 1700s) and they lost to Canadians (or British i dont care)
spitfire point taken it is a nice place but they really need less desert and more grasslands to it might be millions by now
no one has the strength to lift me and throw me off a bridge im 100 pounds srry....no russians 4 super power....might be a major power let me see... yep.....a major power however i said that it also has some superpower stuff australia is listed as regional power not enof to invade us but it is enof to assist in war effort

[The Mob]

ok so some country is the super power... so what??? what would they gain if in fact they do conquer the world? just more resources? they would have to make sure that they also take care of the captured country's people and stuff like that. this thread, needless to say, is going no where

[Mathalamus]

more resorces more power, more manpower and more tech. like if usa invade the world (including canada) they wont last long 10 years at most and then usa is vaperized and canada takes over

[DeStRuCtIoN]

i am not saying this because im australian but because we wouldnt do stupid things not mentioning anything...laugh:.

SkyMonster

haha and i suppose following the usa into iraq is not stupid? all countries to do so are considered stupid in my books.

also we would be the least likely to use the power... you think about it the us does w/e they feel like. china would do something probally become supreme rulers of korea or something. canada would be the most likely be be australian like and i forgot the other poll options
SkyMonster

trust me, human nature dictates that once someone has power he won't be the 'least likely to use the power'.

p.s. i just saw on the news that australia is selling china australian uranium for china's nuclear power plants

as for canada it seems like a good propect according to http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/01/2...5184.shtml

they have at least 100 trillion barrels of poil in that dirt and it seems to me that that just MIGHT be a good economic propect

[DeStRuCtIoN]

about the u.s trying to take all the glory in WWII. we LET russia take berlin, we LET them have the glory. hows that trying to steal all the glory? Another point for russia too lol.

[DeStRuCtIoN]

about the u.s trying to take all the glory in WWII. we LET russia take berlin, we LET them have the glory. hows that trying to steal all the glory? Another point for russia too lol.

lol you LET them or did you ahve enough problems with Japan as it was?

[The Mob]

ok so we let them take berlin.. how does that have anything to do with glory? it was about a group of countries fighting together to win the war.

[hellsing293]

because taking berlin was ending the war and the final nail in the coffin for the nazis. oh yeah i also heard that russia has the second largest oil reserve in the world so if the middle east ever drys up then their gonna be in control of most of the world's oil.
