is america doomed as in all previeous empires?

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

Blah blah blah. What rubbish! Those who have given their pseudo intellectual answers are just a bunch of dooms-dayers. America is in no danger of "falling," or "doomed" unless a giant meteor falls on us, and then the whole world is pretty much screwed. We have serious problems, but they're all just temporary. The arabs can rattle their swords, and if they keep pushing, we will annihilate them. Big Oil can continue to gouge us until some very smart nerd comes up with a new way of getting around without using fossil fuels. The more things change the more they remain the same. Everyone wants to write America's obituary, yet millions still try to get in every year. If we are going down, a foreigner trying to move here would be like a person booking passage on the Titanic, knowing it was going to sink!

Answer 3

I think the current administration is really overextending itself. The nation is a financial diaster, the corp. are sending all the middle income jobs off shore,mainly to China.Middle income jobs are the main tax base for the country. China is investing the enormous profits theya re reaping from this arrangment into buying up American interests. What they don't buy, the Arabs are. Bush, Cheney and that lot are making personal fortunes and seem to be ignoring what is happening to the nation. Even Osama said he would bankrupt theUS as he did Russia. All he has to do is have some flunkey do something suspicious or release a video, and Homeland Secuity whips into action and runs up bills for a few million $s more. You cannot have a war on a concept. such as terror. There is no way to win it.If things do not change & soon, you won't have to worry about Spanish being your second language, it will be Chinese.

Answer 4

if by "doomed" you mean that after a while the USA will have less influence overseas, and if by "empire" you mean a system of direct political control of governments outside the main country... wouldn't you say that America has already gotten "doomed?"

We no longer have much direct control over anybody except maybe Puerto Rico and Guam and the Virgin Islands, right? We no longer have the Panama Canal zone or the Phillipines, and people around he world have pretty much tended to ignore us - we can't even get the Cubans to do what we want and there are only about 10 million of them and 300 million of us. So that sounds pretty much like a doomed Empire.

Japan (in WWII) and Britain (after WWII) and Germany (after WW I) and Austria (after WWI) and Turkey (after WWI) all lost their "Empires" but they are doing OK on their own... so, is this going to be a big deal or not?

Answer 5

Yes, the USA will self destruct during this century. It is near bankruptcy with the biggest fiscal deficit in the history of the world. Its main commercial and military rival, China has the biggest dollar reserves in the world. It is fighting wars it can't win and pleading for help from other countries.
It is unable to repair the damage caused by one hurricane to one of its major cities which is still in ruins one year later; even the asians did better than that after their tsunami.
I think the strains we are seeing now will gradually pull the empire apart and some states will want to go it alone or form small federations. Probably California will be the first.

Answer 6

Hi. I don't know if I would say "doomed". History shows us that, like life itself, all things evolve. In time, this nation will evolve into some other role in the world. Hopefully, that will be a peaceful one. But over the centuries to come who knows if we will even have countries as we know them today. The United States may disappear into some other reality just like all societies do in time. It is nothing to worry about. Change is the only constant thing in history.

Answer 7

All empires are doomed. It is what is called progress. If you have a perfect system please let us know. Rome thought it was as good as it could get when they thought up democracy. China thought it was perfect with its destiny. Russia thought it was great from its power. What empire ever thought it would fall? So yes it is doomed but on the bright side it will be better as all are after the fall.

Answer 8

In order for the entire human race to have what it needs and be at peace, the USA will have to either be radically changed or downsized within the global community. If we do not stop bringing doom to the poor and opressed masses, then surely, we will meet our own.

Answer 9

By doomed do you mean subject to defeat by a foreign enemy or at risk of breaking apart? I would guess no and yes. I don't know how much of the world would be all that upset about it . . .

Answer 10

Yes

Answer 11

Everything in nature and history works like a pendulum, there is a period of highs and lows. Its balance. America has had its time to shine, eventually it will be in darkness too.
