Which BRIC Country Shall Rule The Future?

[Wee Laddy]

Anybody who predicts the future with certainty is a fool.

How about this... Within the next ten years, a nuclear bomb will be smuggled in across the Mexican border and detonated in an US city.

The American people will hang the appeasement guys like Obama from lightposts.  Rednecks will burn Mosques and lynch Muslims.  A crazy ass Republican will raze the entire Middle East and build a 100ft wall along the Mexican border and "immigrant rights" will end immediately.

The rest of the world will cower as America goes bat-shit crazy.

At that point, who cares about India's billion people and our debt to China.

  You are making far more absurd speculations than I am in this thread. It is far more likely that China will surpass the U.S in GDP in another decade than it is for a terrorist to strike on U.S soil with a nuke. Why not go further? Maybe a black hole will swallow our solar system in three months. Lol.

Now that would be some scenario!!

put it this way America's qualitative edge in terms of conventional military capacity is still far greater than that of China...the scenarios have all been mapped out and youd roll china in a couple of months easily if you decided to invade

BUT! they are catching up, and are now beginning to understand how to build high performance weapons (fast jets etc) mostly from technology which they've stolen from you btw... :-D

Many american foreign policy wonks I speak to are worrying day and night about America's declining influence in the world...It was the same with the British Empire, during it's zenith people were furiously reading Edward Gibbon's decline and fall of the Roman Empire desperately trying to prevent a decline. The same thing is happening with the USA. Yes you're going down, relatively, but overall you're still miles ahead.

which in my books is a damn good thing.

i know your being sarcastic cause your a self-loathing liberal pu$sy........but i like the way your thinking

Let me enlighten you sonny.  The best and the brightest don't want to move to USA anymore. The best and the brightest of each country can succeed now without leaving home thanks to the downfall of Communism and changes in economic opportunities worldwide. In China, Russia, India etc the brightest now have chances to become part of the elite in that country.
Only the mexicans and scumbags without qualifications want to move to the US because they are too dumb to succeed in their own county. It is now more difficult for a US citizen to emigrate to UK than the other way around due to the very strict laws introduced last October in the UK.

 Let me enlighten you sonny. My town has been founded long before the USA have emerged on the world scene. You're talking about come back and thrive even better, but one could destroy half the America in one day and you would have to rebuild everything anew, then you would have the right to say of come back and thrive even more. But it's a new age and things are done different way, I highly doubt the US will thrive and would be shining as before because you will have to deal with wrong things you have done and no one is going to forgive you. Actually China or Russia don't give a shit about your policies as those are emerging superpowers...

  Russia:



  Cons - Terrible climate. Very poor in agriculture and other natural resources.

 What do u mean terrible climate? Africa is for black people, are you not that much sensitive to call me a racist? If u answer it I will move on on agriculture and lol very poor natural resources lol.... 

[Lundgren]

Russia's only problem is it's shrinking population. All the other three are fine. But you have to add in Indonesia, Mexico, and Nigeria to the list as well. There won't be one dominant superpower like america. Remember it's only be dominate for the last 20 years before that they had to contend with russias, than the german,s before that, the brits french etc. 99 percent of human history has not had one dominant super power. Even rome could never break into asia.

America dominate due to population and it's free market system which had reasearchers like einstein fermi etc, flocking to the states for centuries. Thanks to the internet the need for all tech devleopment to be done in one place is done.

[theonlyone]

Russia's only problem is it's shrinking population.

 No, not shrinking, 145 +/- million is just far from enough. As for the other 3, believe me China will not be any more powerful overall than Russia unless it doesn't share common border. Also I believe Russia will never proclaim itself a superpower, the dominance is very obvious, only a suicide country would try to invade Russia. Russia and China vs who?

  What has Africa got to do withh this? I am talking about Russia.

  Yes, it has terrible agriculture. And yes, it is poor in natural resources except oil. It's soil is poor and it does not have many of the valuable metals and minerals that command high prices in the internatiional market. I don't understand why you quoted my post and criticized it since everything I said it true.

Find that hard to believe, Russia's massive, It's climate ain't even that bad for a true nord. They produce loads of food, agriculture, ain't worth shit unless your poor as fuck, got oil, it's biggest problem is that it's declining pop makes realstate hard to maintain unless it's in the major cities. Russia has more concrete potential than any other, it just could grow it's pop a little.

 Africa is a continent and Russia is a country) feel the difference? Hope this helps...


 From wi wi wi wi wi wi wi wi wi Ynghghghtghbloods will help

Russia has a wide natural resource base, including major deposits of timber, petroleum, natural gas, coal, ores and other mineral resources.

Russia has thousands of rivers and inland bodies of water providing it with one of the world's largest surface water resources. The largest and most prominent of Russia's bodies of fresh water is Lake Baikal, the world's deepest, purest, oldest and most capacious freshwater lake etc etc

It's rarely a huge crash...slow decline; Rome needed centuries, still that was then and this is now. Very similar and very different in many ways.

 Russia has the world's largest reserves of mineral and energy resources.[8] It has the world's largest forest reserves and its lakes contain approximately one-quarter of the world's fresh water.

  Oh, dumbass, and when have I claimed that Africa is a country? I didn't even bring up Africa so I have no idea what you are talking about.

  Oh wow, you can make a google search and then prove me wrong about something I didn't even claim in the first place.

Russia has a wide natural resource base, including major deposits of timber, petroleum, natural gas, coal, ores and other mineral resources.

  Exactly my point. Besides oil, it has no valuable natural resources. No gold or diamonds or emeralds and rubies, etc. Coal is worthless.

dRussia has thousands of rivers and inland bodies of water providing it with one of the world's largest surface water resources. The largest and most prominent of Russia's bodies of fresh water is Lake Baikal, the world's deepest, purest, oldest and most capacious freshwater lake etc etc

  Yes, Russia has lots of fresh water. Too bad that it's worth nothing since their climate doesen't allow for practically any agriculture. So your point is redundant.

suckmymuscle don't know what he's talking about. Germany and japan got fuck all in resources, it's not that important. Alot of time these resources prevent futher development of the economy. Even russia is too reliant on resource exports alone. Russia need to develope it's minor cities, to really grow in relavence. It won't be a super power, but it could easily be the richest country in europe.

  Yes, I agree that Human capital is more important than any natural resources, hence why I put China above Brazil as the most likely next superpower despite Brazil's much greater supply of fresh water and natural resources.

  But having an awful climate and lack of natural resources seriously hampesr a country's ability to become a superpower. A country like Russia which is frozen most of the year will always have to import food for instance, and depending on other countries for food is bad for a large power.
