Nuclear weapons don't make a superpower in my opinion.



'Wipe out the US', is an exaggeration. Certainly inflict damage.

I think what this discussion requires is a definition of what is meant by the term 'superpower'. I think it is a combination of stability of government, scientific achievement, economic might and security, industrial capacity, military strength and reach, ...

It is as much about the development of a nation as it is about it's military capability. The UK no longer has the global reach, or the financial muscle, or industrial capacity. Perhaps in the past when Britain still had an Empire, say before the second world war, it was The world Superpower, but not any more.

i meant by the term "Superpower" is
much about the development of a nation, it's military capability & strength, stability of government, industrial capacity, scientifically and last but not the least Economically !!

I don't care what you meant.

i go for japan (gundams will come out sooner hahaha)

[Jenie0109]

How about North Korea?

[hitamlegam]

Well it might be China and India
they both have the biggest economic growth

[StrongInTheArm]

No! I refuse to disagree!!!

My point about the exaggeration aspect is serious. The US has many military bases throughout the world. The UK does not have the military resources to strike them all simultaneously. I don't think we even have enough nukes to wipe out the whole of the US mainland.

OK, now we can agree to disagree

Strongy, I just came in for a sec to roll a cigarette, I've got to get stuff done but I had to reply. The lower 48 landmass is what I'm referring to. I'm also referring to the effects of radiation on the leftover inhabitants, which we know, of course, leads to eventual death.

Oh no you don't. I ain't letting you get away with that young lady!

We expect more of our posters, especially in the politics forum. Now please elaborate. You can't just say you agree with someone, the why is what is most important. You can't just steal someone else's words and ideas like that.

Come on out with it! Or are you just bumping up your post count?

1. China
2. Brazil
3. India (they are third because Most of India is still in the 17th Century)

Super power in terms of nukes or money, though, both probably translate to the same thing.
I'd say Switzerland because they have money, I mean really money not nukes.
Some people said India is the next superpower.
I don't agree one bit. Here’s why:
We don't have enough nukes.
We have a slightly disgraced army that resorts to rape and atrocities that have been proof.
The same is true for the police.
The country is hit with drought and no one bothered to tell the people, it was NASA that made the news public, so, and then the government told us.
Contrary to popular belief, India is not an outsourcing capital but primarily an agricultural nation. Now there's no water and the farmers are committing suicide and the economies spiraling downwards.
Recession has already scared the nation.
Most office goers that have overseas links are always in fear that the outsourced jobs will be snatched away and giving to newer outsourcing destinations.
Most of the outsourced working class gets an average salary between $400 and $600 and live with that for years.
Other jobs within the local market offers even more modest pay scales.
No one knows how many people live in the country as the last census report drew a lot of flak as school teachers were expected to complete the job by going to people’s houses and inquire about the inhabitants. They further outsourced the job to jobless neighborhood lads for $.2.5. This is a decade old update.
There's hardly any education in all societies, and worse still, it's not equal education.
There's no government health care for people. As of now 66 people have already died of Swine Flu.
House maids get paid a mere $20 for cleaning utensils, clothes, sweeping, & swabbing.
For all who think India is an emerging economy, it’s not. Just because the Taj is accessible and Hard Rock Café is a great place to drink with friends, it’s not something you should rant about for life.
Look at the bigger picture, the world as I see it is way ahead.

I was thinking maybe Iran, or possibly North Korea?
I hear, that they are both in the works for nuclear power.

imo, i agree China is at the very best position among other country candidates that could keep up or even knock out USA from their long Economic Reign. Man-power is no question to them with their gigantic mass number of population, their vast technology growth and ever growing economy,

Also a lot of their fellow country men are spread out all over the world, though not just living life outside china, but at the same time being productive economically with well established investments and continues growth of their businesses.

What amazes me most is how they have rapidly outgrown everyone else noting that they just have started from scratch since the Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Sorry G', but I reckon the Nagasaki Bombing was very very far from China's concern. Did you just mistaken Japanese as Chinese?

SITA, you don't castigate members when they're wearing Jessica Alba's face!
Besides, isn't she that cute when she smiles.

[StrongInTheArm]

She ain't really Jessica Alba, I'm sure of it!
