I asked for fact based counter points.
You mean like this ?
US is and will be the sole supower today and into next 100 years.
Just kidding
Fine, I will give you a link but you could have done it yourself.
Read this and weep.( And I say this with all due respect of course)
Is the Dollar Dying? Why US Currency Is in Danger
When compared to its peers, the dollar has drifted to a 15-year low, according to the
International Monetary Fund
Are these facts good enough for ya ?
Because I can also put other links about the steps China has taken to float its currency if I am arsed enough.
there is not iota of any proof , inclination, movement or jack to show China, India, Russia will being anything but a regional power.
There is no way the 3 will ever allow any one of the other to become a superpower. there is no challenge to us on a global superpower. It very basic and simple concept to understand what it takes to be a superpower to challenge the US. The 3 above are like crabs in a pot, each pulling the other down if they see one of them getting to big over the same region and the borders they share.
Haha! then why are you telling this to the crabs ?
Sorry to break your bubble but these crabs aren't ape-shit crazy.
US isolated geography is both its biggest strength and biggest weakness.
The weakness was covered by the fact that US was the only industrialized nation left standing when the dust of WW 2 settled in.
Location of China,India and Russia is more advantageous in the long term( beyond our lifetimes ) because they sit right on top of the world island.
Without derailing the thread, I suggest you read the work of Halford Mackinder, in case you aren't familiar with it.
He suggests that Americas will become peripheral to the world once everyone is developed more or less equally.
Which, btw, was true for 99 % of human history.He argues it is natural course of things.
