That's not how it works. Trillion dollar debts don't just go away. One day you're going to have to pay up.

Look on the bright side, I'm sure the EU will be able to force China into a second cold war. You won't be conquered militarily, anyway.

hah
you think to highly of Europe Nitro
anyway
If the US shapes up things can turn around really quickly
The US has one thing European countries dont have
ITS BIG
Being big means the US has a large pop., this means it can have a big army and/or a big workforce
Now a big army isnt always effective (see WWI Russia) but the US has technology
and no one will conquer the US as long as it has nuclear warheads, it would be too risky
to make a move against a large, powerful country with nuclear technology would be starting a nuclear armegeddon, and no one wants that
If the US shaped up we could easily become a superpower greater than any European country

You know what's funny? I would be glad if there's a nuclear war. And then I hope the Netherlands will be hit first. Then I won't have to worry about my life and this ****ed up world anymore.

Of course the US is greater then any single European country, but all signs point to the European UNION being the next western superpower.
I don't think anyone is going to conquer the US by force, but one day, it's economy WILL collapse. Then you won't be able to maintain your diplomatic ties in the middle east and elsewhere, and you won't be able to pay for your military any longer. You'll be powerless on a global scale.
This is the cycle of the world. Nobody can be a superpower forever. Greece fell, Rome fell, the Mongols fell, Britain fell, and so did Russia. And now it's your turn.

You're right, it won't be pretty for anyone in the west. Neither will peak oil. But they are going to happen someday. The world needs to be ready for them.

US WILL fall because of the collapsing economy. |
