The terrorist causes terrorism over all world.
The fall starts momentarily when called “strongest”.

it would take a great deal, and for some of our allies to turn on us.

USA vs. everyone
we'd lose.

Well, they is but of course! But what if US is stuck in some one's land? Will they win? Say they are in China!

The US Army mat not be defeated but the problems in the states is political pressures

American industry is in decline. The Chinese economic miracle is draining the west. Since civilian-industrial power is the starting point of armaments production, the Chinese will easily dominate their region and beyond in geostrategic terms within 50 years. Bye Bye unipolar American world power. Hello multipolar world. Duck and cover!

Sure in 30 years, but china is gona make a mistake (attacking taiwan) before they can ever seriously challenge the US for economic or military dominance.

hah! Well, most possible! But that would not stop China from expanding her weapons and army! There is also India!

This could also be called globalization or world capitalism. I think that the best way for the US to head off this "multipolar world" on the horizon is to devote most of her jobs towards the field of research and development (i.e. intelligence work) with a small portion of the population doing advanced manufacturing (i.e. high quality goods, advanced weaponry, various other items the US would not want to rely on foreign powers to make for them). I say let China. India, etc. be the low labor workhorses making the Nikes, pots, pans, USB cables, and other minor stuff. Let the US and other sophisicated nations work on the brain stuff (and let's not let China steal it either...). Did anyone else read the TIME article a few weeks ago about how America's kids are failing science and most engineers and doctors are taking their busienss elsewhere? Brought a tear to my eye....

yes america can be defeated in 40 years if it continues on it's curent course it will do something very stuipid and the rest of the world will see that and take advantage of it and jump all over us

i dont think there will be any wars between big powers in the future, globalization just connects us so closely together that even a dumbass knows it is not wise to provoke a war.
talk about U.S and China
Why China wants to kill its best customer and investor?
why U.S wants to kill its most concentrated investing destination?
does not make sense.

and if there is no big wars, U.S cannot and will not be defeated..
