define "superpower"

2020-03-31 04:05:52 UTC  

^

2020-03-31 04:06:27 UTC  

the same way it's been defined in the context of geopolitics throughout history, a power that is capable of exerting force economically and militarily on a global scale

2020-03-31 04:06:44 UTC  

former powers include the British Empire and the Soviet Union

2020-03-31 04:06:45 UTC  

In general, I believe he'll keep America on top in spite of the demoncraps efforts to thwart him at every turn like an obnoxious thorn in his side.

2020-03-31 04:06:48 UTC  

in that case, we weren't the only superpower when Trump took office

2020-03-31 04:07:01 UTC  

who was the other superpower @OSCIM?

2020-03-31 04:08:16 UTC  

Russia China India Pakistan Iran Brazil Mexico Canada UK Europe Israel Iraq pretty much anybody tbh by that definition

2020-03-31 04:08:53 UTC  

> a power that is capable of exerting force economically and militarily on a global scale

2020-03-31 04:09:08 UTC  

most of the countries listed never had those abilities

2020-03-31 04:09:13 UTC  

even Chinese virus fits that definition

2020-03-31 04:09:17 UTC  

Sounds a lot like what a monarchy would do.

2020-03-31 04:09:39 UTC  

America's job isn't to play world police.

2020-03-31 04:09:40 UTC  

okay take Iraq for example, military check, ruins economies globally check

2020-03-31 04:09:40 UTC  

if you consider Iraq a superpower then you must have very low standards

2020-03-31 04:10:02 UTC  

I mean, the definitionyou put forth is super broad

2020-03-31 04:10:19 UTC  

you mean like a country capable of conquering the whole world if it wanted to?

2020-03-31 04:10:30 UTC  
2020-03-31 04:10:33 UTC  

We probably could.

2020-03-31 04:10:44 UTC  

so could russia and china and everybody else with nukes

2020-03-31 04:10:56 UTC  

Thanks to M.A.D.

2020-03-31 04:11:06 UTC

not quite

2020-03-31 04:11:12 UTC  

Mutually Assured Destruction

2020-03-31 04:11:23 UTC  

it's a bit more complex than just saying MAD

2020-03-31 04:11:32 UTC  

Someone say UK? My time to shine

2020-03-31 04:11:32 UTC  

In what way?

2020-03-31 04:11:50 UTC  

UK is non-canon <:ultrasmug:624684793199722498>

<:TrumpDisgust:624681485525319681>

2020-03-31 04:12:06 UTC  

a pre emptive strike could easily wipe away north korea's nuclear facilities and it doesn't have the power to retaliate against a real attack

2020-03-31 04:12:14 UTC  

America first, baby!

If you ain't first, you're last.

2020-03-31 04:12:22 UTC  

NK is bush league level nuke power

2020-03-31 04:12:44 UTC  

NK "nukes" are glorified jank-rockets.

2020-03-31 04:12:49 UTC  

the US should've done something about NK in 2003, when they withdrew from the NPT

2020-03-31 04:13:03 UTC  

bush couldn't find NK on the map, that's why

2020-03-31 04:13:18 UTC  

Bush was an incompetent moron and deep state.

2020-03-31 04:13:21 UTC  

like, who the fuck withdraws from a treaty saying "no nukes" while also saying "we're peaceful I promise guyz for real"

2020-03-31 04:13:36 UTC  

the whole Iraq war was based on Bush making a spelling error for "Iran"

2020-03-31 04:13:58 UTC  

did somebody say "nuke"?

2020-03-31 04:14:01 UTC  

I'm willing to bet NK withdrew at that time because of Bush's war on Iraq, it was the perfect opportunity

2020-03-31 04:14:16 UTC  

bruh when we turning china into a wasteland

2020-03-31 04:14:41 UTC  

move manufacturing first, convince the companies to do that
