The United States calls itself the worlds only superpower...?

Question

yet it is bogged down on two fronts, stretching its fighting forces to the breaking point, wasting many of its assets ( human and machine), and sending injured and crippled soldiers back into combat. All the while China, with its million plus man army, nuclear weapons, and vast arsenals, and Russia ( with whom relations have cooled ) conduct joint war games

Time to rethink this whole " worlds only superpower" before you are blindsided.

Answer 1

Funny now you cons say that we don't call ourselves the only superpower. GWB has said that many,many,many times. Now that it doesn't hold water they say they never said it. Typical cons.

Answer 2

America is not the only superpower. We around the world see America bogged down by a peoples resistance using shoddy 1960's and 1970's small arms. Often the arm chair patriots will delude themselves right up until the end, this has happened many times in history. China is very powerful, notice how America does not bring " democracy " to China, or oust the dictator or roast China for wmd.

Answer 3

a million. it's going to be remembered that unsustainable protection spending delivered down the Soviet Empire. the U. S. is turning out to be further and further indebted to China and different foreign places lenders. it may cut back that burden -- as quickly as -- by utilising devaluation, something it quite is happening now steadily. yet apart from instituting foreign places funds controls or repudiating the debt (and putting in possibility huge US production investment in China) it may do not something to ward off servicing the debt, and hoping that that's rolled over indefinitely. 2. mutually as spending huge sums, now and back undesirable by utilising the defense force itself, the U. S. is nickel-and-diming the troops. and because that's unable or unwilling to impose conscription that's in accordance with decrease high quality voluntary recruits. the burden of 0.33 and fourth excursions in Iraq and Afghanistan is making it complicated to fulfill enlistment and re-enlistiment targets. 3. all the hardware in the international won't come to a determination the Islamist guerilla possibility. inevitably, the terrorist an guerilla enemy will convey approximately an erosion and a reversal, of human rights norms wide-unfold after international conflict II: an end to asymmetrical (non-reciprocal) furnish of rights as below the Geneva conventions and the a number of human rights records. As of now, in basic terms the Geneva and huge apple Refugee Conventions impose a call for of reciprocity (a candidate for refugee status is ineligible if he's a conflict criminal, terrorist, etc.) 4. The State's first precedence, first loyalty, is to the survival of its very own establishments. Vested hobbies, inclusive of present frontiers, are sacrosanct and historic injustsice to generations now lifeless carry no weight. The Islamists in Britain are in for some surprises. In Lebanon, Hezbollah (whether it cares or not, for the 2d) is basically gaining information of that the the basically right option of self-defence is primeval. And that notwithstanding philosophers might debate at present approximately Dresden and Hiroshima, there became into no such debate whilst they got here approximately and there will be no debate whilst the State feels itself threatened sooner or later. 5. The mere life of the poor weaponry defined on your quoted article might become "justification" for his or her use. If in basic terms "pour encourager les autres".

Answer 4

What a bunch of bunk...

First of all, we don't consider ourselves the world's only superpower. There is still China and the EU.

Second, bogged down is not an accurate description. We are part of the NATO force in Afghanistan. We won that war and have since turned it over to the international community. We are winning in Iraq even after 18 months of setbacks and status quo.

Lastly, spacewar is a bullsh*t website.

Answer 5

We've been stretched on two fronts before and won (no Biggie), the problem with the world is that they think they know what the American is thinking, the common mistake made is that they under estimate the resolve of the American people, that's where they get "surprised", and in a big way ! Let the Russians and Chinese play cards, when the big American cowboy shows up with a deck of cards, and a six gun, it ain't gonna be him that is "SWEATING" at the table !

Answer 6

I'm a citizen of the USA and I certainly don't call my country the world's only superpower. Stop reading so much of the left-wing liberal media. LOL

Personally, I would prefer that we bring our troops home. Keep all our money, technology, medical aid, etc... to ourselves. And let people who want to kill themselves (and have for centuries) have at it.

Answer 7

The U.S. is an entity. It cannot speak.

I don't recall any public official from Clinton to Bush stating that we are the "only" super power.

We should focus on the homefront for a while though - stop meddling in everything.

Answer 8

The worlds only super power ?

Pretty arrogant... Never heard us refer to ourselves as such. Sounds more like an angry reporter altering the story to fit his agenda.

Answer 9

Whats the matter, are you afraid? Neither of those countries have attacked anyone in years.

Answer 10
