Just thinking aloud here, and following on from a post that I wrote previously (

What do you think will happen in the long term future of the US?
The US is the worlds last surviving empire and super power. No other country at the moment has the potential to take on the US individually, and will only act against the US when allied with others ie the EU, Asia etc. With the current credit crunch, economic depression, wars being fought overseas and lack of industrial power against India and Asia, is the US starting to slip from being the last super power?
In recent decades, the USSR dissolved and fragmented as regional governments became more suitable for regional control than the centralised control of the Duma. The satellite states prospered, allowing Russia to re-stock and come back as a small but more controlled economic power.
Other past Empires (the Dutch, British, Roman, French etc) all faulted as resources got stretched too thinly and lost a cohesive power across all of their territories. Each one overstretched and then conceded and now exist as much small physical territories but still maintain seat on the world stage.
As the US continues to fight in the Middle East, war mongers with Iran and looses engineering contracts to cheaper Asian and Chinese companies, what do you think is the long term outlook for the US?
Will states start to look for autonomy and fragment as successful local and regional policies get voted out at national levels? Will the US find a way of securing national security and energy security without loosing face from withdrawing from the current wars? Is this the decline of the last super power or a blip that the US will recover from? Will China ***** the US to submit and become a more dominant *****?
What are your thoughts......
