to say that no one in europe could build an america is silly- the british, the spanish, the french, the dutch and the portuguese all built empires at one stage in the not too distast past.



Maybe they could've in the past, but not nowadays. Too many Euros have become dependent on their Gov't.

obviously, you could nuke us pretty easy as well, which is why we're so friendly, so the nukes are on our side.



We would never nuke you guys. We love the Aussies. They usually have our back when no one else does. Besides we would never nuke a country that invented these.

say a south-east asian country invades us, what are the chances of the US actually coming to help?



I'm with King on this one. Except I'm bringing 5 Aircraft Carrier Strike Groups with me for a solid beat down.

Quote:


it'll be pretty interesting when in about 20 years time either china or india becomes the world's dominant economic power.



I think China can get close to America, India not quite as close. America is a flexible country and we can adapt quickly. And we hate to finish in 2nd place. So America will probably stay on top with China a close 2nd, Japan, India. Europe will round out the rest(for the most part).
