Well, I could go way out on a limb here, and say that we are destroying ourselves economically, and that China or Russia will also have no need to attack us militarily. When Obama's house of cards falls down and austerity measures are implemented, I could see the possibility of civil war erupting; to prevent civil war, I could see the US government garnering what power it has left, and turning it on the American people......to keep order. From there we would just become another tin-pot dictatorship. We already have the guy that would like to be at the top of it.

And the Chinese and Russians will be laughing. :angry:
I am 51 yrs old have always been involved politically and remember sitting in a political science class with a left wing liberal teacher and telling him 2 things that will happen in my LIFETIME. One was a limited nuclear war in the middle east and a civil war.

Yeah. And when civil war either breaks out, or threatens to, we will have the media running comparisons between Obama and Lincoln, and telling us that Obama is busy keeping the country from falling apart. All that will be needed, is to move people that still cling to the constitution, into FEMA camps, and peace will be restored. :scared:

I thought you were being sarcastic when you said "Don't want to piss off the big dog." I thought you meant me....


( . . . )  I encourage people to shake me up now and then and ask me, "What in the Hell are you prattling on about"? :biggrin:

Is this a part or full time position, and what benefits are you offering?

"The rest of the world are not helpless without the US, where the hell did that come from?"
Care to counter as to why that's not true.

First of I admit that I might be wrong about the Chinese but I dont see any indication of the demographic or policy changes directing towards democratization or more open political freedom or even economic freedom (at the corporate level). And the Chinese military are totally different than the Chinese diplomatic departments.

As for the rest of the world, UK, Germany and France can withstand Russian military alone, throw in the entire EU and Russia is being outnumbered 2-1 in aircrafts and tanks.

When it comes to economy then the biggest market for Norway is the EU. Norway is not dependent on US trade relations even though US is running a deficit against Norway. The world can carry on without the US. The world would be more totalitarian though, but the EU is not dependent on the US, though we certainly enjoy the free ride on subisidies the US give us.

Of course they are. Look at their opposition. Obama, Kerry, Clinton, and maybe Hagel who is possibly the most inept man in America...
