Ok, although I must admit the French...no matter how much we dislike them should not be compared to Saddam or Bin Laden...however, you must admit they are laughable...they think that they are a world power and want to be...but its the US, and China, and North Korea that are superpowers...India is also progressing very nicly if they can keep it up, and settle down some disputes.


Okay, I guess you could consider China and NK superpowers, but it is pretty much the US that is--or at least, it is the strongest, not to mention, no offense to other nations if you think otherwise, the STRONGEST nation EVER to inhabit the Earth.

Of course...and that is why if diplomacy runs out, like it did in Iraq, North Korea should be our (the US') next target.

And if someone ever did push this button on the theoreticle nuke I think your talkin about, the US would push about 200 buttons, and then other countrys would, and humanity would be gone and there would be no super-powers.

You've got to admit, MAD (mutually assured destruction) politics has worked well in the past. (see USSR)

Heck, the US has enough armed nuclear submarines in action to wipe out the entire planet even if we were pre-emptively struck and the entire continental US was blown away.

Ahhhh, enjoy the Pax Americana. It's here to stay!

The US only became a super power at the end of the 40's when the A bomb was invented.USSR came into power in 1917.

I reckon China will be the Strongest Military Superpower in the Near Future, but for now I reckon America probably has the Military Force or if not, the Concentrated forces of the US and Allies have the Military Force to take out China.

I would hope that he is a little scared they have nukes, otherwise I would be very worried, of course I also think the rest of the world should be worried that they have nukes also.

Well maybe so...........But if lets say China and NK decided to start war with america...........do u know how populated China and NK ARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FAR more then the US with there combined population.Even so both China and NK both have nuclear weopons just like the United States.Ther only difference is China is not soo technologically as far as America is.Though they will be someday.Someday they will probably surpast the US in world power.America will never want to aggrovate China....beleive me.Like the Japenese once sayed about america.China...is what america was once.

We also...well at least hopefully, have more people as allies than China would, but they will never be as good unless they move to capitalism. Capitalism is a major factor in why America is great.

yes ur right there are mojor things China has to change but still I dont think the americans wants to tango with them..if america would win a war with them it would be at a costly...verrrry costly price.And the war wouldn't be a quick one ether.Anyways.....lets argue about something else now.
