China probably will be the main 'power' in the world in years to come, but I don't think attacking anyone will benefit them, considering the freaking massive amount of stuff they export war, and the resulting loss in trade to European, American, (etc) markets would be huge.

If it did happen, I think Russia's stance would be hugely influential, with borders on Europe and China they could bring a huge amount of military force to bare on either side pretty quickly.

As for currency, Bottlecaps anyone?

The euro will likely fail. It's only a question of time until some euro countries are bankrupt. And then it will be interesting to see how the euro, the economy, the people, governments etc doing.
You can compare the value of the euro to gold/silver, food, oil prices. Then it doesn't look so very well.

Even if China increases their military spending with +12.4% compared to the previous year it it is still tiny compared to the US military spending. In 2010 the military spendings of US were 42.8% of the whole world, China had the second highest share with 7.3% of the whole world (source).

And surprise surprise Guess which bankrupt EU state is the world’s fourth biggest arms importer?... Greece.

We can assume that hardly anyone would survive WW3. So why even discuss about a war with China?

Or the franc.
The euro was doomed to fail from the beginning. Something like this cannot work with countries that are used to paying their debts via inflation. I'm glad I've got no savings I could lose

I'm not afraid of China though. Their policy since Deng Xiaoping is very good and reasonable. (Apart from tian an men and such stuff of course) They won't run their country down, neither in the way European countries go down now nor through bigger wars.

The US produces that many military stuff because they have to if they stop producing tanks/airplanes/weapons and all these other things the US will be bankrupt...

US is already bankrupt.

For me USA is a big Terrorist who conquer and ruin countries with fossil fuels using method called 'fighing with terrorism'. What is their answer for not respecting human rights in North Korea ? Saviors .. lol

I wait for cancellation enter visas for Poles coz every time USA tell we are their friends... you are scared about friends and close the door in front of them? Stupid

About thread name - what is a problem with it? USA die slowly and I am happy about this.

[Godot]

well... finally a place I get some decent lo mein.

on topic: I think Van sums it up quite nicely. US military bases are ecomomic
bastions as well as fortifications; example Subic Bay, PI. That local economy is poor and the US presence there helps support many Phillipino people.
The troops stationed there aren't at war; they do however have material needs that they satisfy by spending their money in the local economy, whether it be shoestrings, fried chicken or San Miguel beer, they spend spend spend... mostly to the profit of local merchants. I know...I was one of those soldiers and I'm glad the money I spent there helped keep those people going, because almost all of them I met were gracious, kind, and friendly
(you know; like at home)
