As the American Empire falls other emerging Wannabe Empires are taking its place let me count them if I can:
1-Turkey: Turkey is trying to re-establish a Neo-Ottoman type of rule we can see this very apparently with its shift in foreign policy from a country that its foreign policy previously was almost non existent to one that of a heavy weight in the region already being the daddy of the new revolution countries of the Arab world and soon beyond the Arab world.
2-Iran: Iran is looking to re-establish its former glory of the Persian Empire and it is not wasting its chance as the American beast lie in its defensive cocoon unable to attack Iran has been sharpening its weapons and increase its foreign policy power 10 folds while it is at it. Strong will power is the main backer behind Iran's new almost super-power attitude that earns it respect.
3-GCC countries: Realizing that the US no longer has anything to offer and that it is nothing more but a shadow of its former self and the eventual collapse of the once "Good friend" have led to the Gulf Monarchs on a more independent rule looking after its own long-term interest for a change and using their vast Oil supplies to push to a more secure Economy and pushing their population into a more scientific and progressive way of thinking even though they have kept them in the dark on purpose for long they are taking the risk of enlightened people is grave to their rule they have chosen to take it or fear being left out of the world and once again live an insignificant existence.
4-Russia: Russia since the times of the Czar have always been a power to be reckoned with and made more great and powerful by the soviet union. As a result Russia will strive to once again take the mantle of "Super Power" at all costs and it has all the means of achieving such a feat it only needs time to tend to its wounds of the soviet union collapse and that time is almost up.
5-China: China have made a great push in recent year unrivaled by any nation including the US. In fact China's push is one of the reasons that caused the US fall since the US only retained power through means of "Technology and Industrial know-how hugging" which as much as possible keeping the rest of the world in the dark and on the consumer level rather than producers however with China breaking that hegemony china is more than set into being a Super-Power in its own right retaking its former glory as the most civilized and the hub of science in the world once more a position they retained more than all the countries on earth.
6-Japan: Even though Japan has been "dismusculized" by the USA ever since WW2 it is however have been recently taking a more hardliner stance with increased nationalistic feelings and the re-emerging of the Japanese warrior tradition in the Japanese people. Even though japan has a huge fertility problem ahead of it, it still has more to go before it is taken down. The Japanese debt although huge it is however manageable unlike the US debt which if "Managed" will end what little more years the US has the sole world super-power.
6-Germany: Germany is suffering the same problem Japan is facing with constant American bases in its soil to "Keep them down" however they are rising not through military means (However a military rise is an eventual outcome) as the EU is suffering its worst problems since its inception Germany appears to be the only one who can save them (A well planned irony from the German part). When the Germans got rid of their Frank which was its main obstacle to industrial European hegemony it's financial prowess is left only challenged by France in the European continent.
7-France: Sarkozy has been described by many as a neo-Napoleonic figure for France but not without cause. I firmly believe that whoever was to lead France at this time would have been doing the same thing as him to increase foreign policy and influence power to be on par with France's history and they have all the means to achieving it. France's economy combined with previous history of influence in a lot of parts of the world already gives it a push ahead, a push they are unlikely to make the best of.
8-Brazil: Brazil have always been kept down with internal problems ranging from coups to military dictatorships the near collapse of the US coupled with Brazil's own endogenous potential have given it all the means to rise to a super-power level.
9-India: India's ambitions in being a world "Super-Power" and to make use of its vast land and huge population is probably the main reason of why it is struggling to become one. Eyeing China India has also tried to make use of its population number into building a huge industry (Up to which they have been somewhat successful) however they have neglected one of the more important things in the Super-Power criteria and that is "Well-fare of citizens" while many would argue that this problem exists due to cast system history and play it as "Part of the culture", it still won't earn India true Super-Power status unless it tackles these problems first once tackled they are more than set into taking the entire world head one however it will not be an easy ride.
10:United Stated of America: Even though the USA will fall from the spot of "Sole Super-Power" it will not remain without influence and strength to still be an adversary to the emerging powers. Even though the debt crisis and its falling ability to live its once lavish life is taking a hit it will still maintain a powerful economy and industry in the new world for some time.
Well I just wrote this which is what I see the world is eventually going to I hope you guys tell me what you think I could be wrong in some things in it however history has a nasty habit of repeating itself so the way I see it is that I do not see a World War 3 as many predict however what I see is a world in conflict and a world where it goes back to its original self where neighbors fighting is the norm and war was a constant.

V Cheng , you were hoping for an intellectual debate and you got stuck with aryan B and this profound thought from him.
Let's see If I can attempt to have that cerebral debate....

Entitlements do need to be fixed by doing some simple things like raising the age of retirement, cutting out the waste by say electronic medical records etc, enforcing medical fraud cases, removing millionaires from it.
what I mean is privatizing it or taking republican $2600 voucher program is not the way to be solved.
I need to grab some dinner but I wanted to write down some quick thoughts.

That is happening at the cost of US industries and political interests! Sooner or later the capability of compromise will run out and US will find no buyers for its bonds..and a lot of angry creditors waiting for the payback..thats when the sh_t hits the fan! And soviet union like collapse becomes inevitable!

It will be much much later than what you describe, and even that won't be the case since remedial actions will be implemented well before that.
Sorry, but I simply see no reason to buy into your fervent alarmism, for it is totally unjustified.

Thank you, but my assessment of what I feel is correct or not is independent of such personal preferences. I have no hesitation in agreeing with what I feel is correct, no matter who says it; similarly I do not hesitate to disagree with what I regard to be wrong.
I cannot ever be intimidated into deviating from that policy.
Every two year old kid does not have a printing press to print the world's reserve currency.
except when it becomes US govt policy then even if you dont agree with them you pretend to

I just don't criticize for criticism's sake, but if there is no better alternative to US policies?
Back to the topic:
NBC Politics - Deal made to avoid government shutdown
US politics is a big convoluted mess, including budgetary issues.
Thank you finally
