ravishingravi Posted November 17, 2023 Author Share Posted November 17, 2023 One big factor that could spell the end of this great land are the internal factions. Wokeness and lack of meaning. Imagine a day would come in US, where the letter to America by Osama Bin Laden would go viral on Tic Toc and there would be actual folks apologizing for Bin Laden. The civilization is rotting from within. Infiltrated by Marxists and Chinese, they have done a magnificent job in hurting where it hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravishingravi Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 I am convinced now that it will end. Not just end. It's over already. 1) Demography has been successfully altered with uncontrolled immigration and regularisation. So republicans are practically out of the contest. The illegals will also have right to vote with no voter Id checks. Amazing stuff. 2) Woke virus has killed pretty much all spirit and innovation. What is left is ESG, DEI etc. Gemini AI has opened the can how deep the rot goes. 3) US is losing the war not just to Putin but also on renewables, AI, semiconductor space to China. This gap will only increase. So overall looks like things will go downhill and like all great empires it will rot from within. Good riddance. Once you give up on striving and innovation, there is nowhere to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real McCoy Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 There is no superpower after the US is out. What kinda superpower would China, Russia or for that matter would India make since most of these are dependent on US on someway shape or form. Having said that, India was the superpower a few millennia ago. Our civilization introduced agricultural revolution that can still feed the whole world. Things have become complex that even Indians were starving under British rule and immediately post independence. I don't like what the USA has done in the past 100 years but its the only country that permits its citizens to carry firearms (I don't have any problems since its creation until the start of the 20th century). Once that right is eroded away along with the super power status, not only is US in trouble but the entire world. Those people who are in charge of the world will come up with cunning ways to keep the other countries in check. Covid is a prime example of mass hysteria. Today's generation is weak. We are scared by a virus to be enslaved in our own homes. This was carried out by every government of the world. The elite and the governments that are directed by them (pretty much every governments) are not gonna stop here. We are forced either by them or by God to disobey and resist their rule. Resistance is only possible if you have power in your hands. If you look at it from this point of view, US citizens having gun rights is key to their safety and the world at large. ravishingravi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't agree more. US is very very radical country. On the phase of it gun rights looks crazy. But with age one begins the see the other side much better.

mishra Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Before WWII, Currency of National reserve and International trade was sterling pound. Britain was Superpower. Post WWII, Currency of National reserve and International trade is US Dollar. US is Superpower. Clue lies in there, Currency of International Trade and Natinal Reserve determines the hegemony and how it may end.

Clue lies in there, Currency of International Trade and Natinal Reserve determines the hegemony and how it may end. That's one way to look at it. Two superpowers emerged out of WW2 - USA and USSR. I guess it also relies on who gets the vote for stability of the currency among the two will get the vote for international trade currency. USSR is a communist country. Probably that left it out as an unreliable currency and dollar came out the winner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikhil_cric Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 The US will only stop being a superpower when the dollar is abandoned in international trade and forms a much smaller portion of most countries' forex reserves. If Russia and China can provide a viable alternative to that , that will be the end of the American Empire as we have known it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howverr Euro, GBP, Yuan and Yen are only currencies which can be used as Foreign reserve but no one now cares about them as no third country accepts them. They are effectively as good as INR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's another war, it will be nuclear and then this discussion won't even matter in a post apocalyptic world. The US will covertly and maybe overtly try to orchestrate regime changes like they have recently done in Argentina with Milei wanting Argentina to dollarise. Keeping the demand high for the dollar, by hook or by crook, is absolutely at the centre of American hegemony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, When world war II ended, Victor Nations came together with new method of sucking wealth, natural resources and Power from various countries via Banking and UN. US, UK, France on one side, Russia on another and formed UN, World Bank, International Currency, Forex Reserves, Trade currency and many other things. Since Europe owed to US, They were forced to do what US asked. Just think, Petrol is coming from middle east, But to buy petrol, India needs to sell comething to US to earn dollar and then that peice of paper printed in America is accepted by Arab Sheikh in return of that dollar. Basically Both India and Arab shekh is selling their resources to American printed note Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically Both India and Arab shekh is selling their resources to American printed note Out of the victors of WW2, UK and France were toast. It left USA and USSR as the only powers left. I see you are getting into the petro dollar route but a nation's currency has other aspects to it. US is a capitalist democratic country, has friendly neighbors to the North and South and covered on both side by oceans. USSR had communism which meant there is no quality to what it produces and no money to buy it from. There are no salesmen only government depots. It also had China to deal with and different ethnicities at the South like Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, etc which were muslim in nature. It was always running on thin ice India may be suffering due to buying and selling in dollars but the sheiks are not. Oil itself is a currency not many people know it. Hence the name petrodollar came into play. Its a win-win for the sheiks and US. Not so much for the rest. This is the bad part of US being a superpower. When Gaddafi wanted to close the central bank and issue a gold standard, US got upset and assassinated him. The official story goes something like "the people were oppressed, formed a local rebel group and assassinated him". But we know the bankers through the american govt had him gone.
