the USA are THE bully of our age and every country practically gives in. Nobody of our spineless politicians wants a bloody nose as in an early career end.
And that is really sad. The US frightens countries, people, practically everybody.
The threats are real (e.g. the ongoing drone wars) and the US seems to be the number one terror organisation in the world.
- outworlder 13y agoLet's imagine that the US collapses tomorrow, Soviet Union style. Do you think the world will be a better place? I think it will be much worse, as someone will take its place and its either Russia or China. I am really, really hoping that the US citizens will eventually be able to fix the government.
- andyhmltn 13y agoI don't think anyone's suggesting the US does no good. Hopefully it can change, but after the last election I'm doubtful.
- flyinRyan 13y agoI really do truly believe that. It's true that Russia or China would try to take their place but they'd have a much harder time because they don't have anything like the US military, the technical infrastructure, etc., etc. and the rest of the world has been so skeptical of them for so long they'd likely never achieve any of those things (well, perhaps military might).

- Dewie 13y agoWhat exactly does Russia have, except for a ridiculous land-mass? As an economy, it's only top 8. Is it the military? Is it going to use its forces to wield power over the rest of the world? It will need allies for that: does it have enough allies? How exactly would Russia become the next superpower?
- xradionut 13y agoWrong. The people that control the USA/world are the bullies. We in the States are as powerless as you. The System's rigged, but we still have to play...
