The power itself is not enough.
@Firefly What do you mean by that?
Power as in electricity?
As in military and diplomacy.
Power is a pretty big factor, but not 100%.
That is obvious.
Now we're talking.
SHIT
The substance of power is finite and timely.
And it might get darker before the sunrise.
Substance?
WHat do you mean by that?
This substance is more like a state.
One time is here.
Another time it goes.
Not really....
Where is the English Empire now?
Your military bases just don't randomly get burnt down overnight.
I would like to see it.
Do you have a picture of the English Empire?
@Firefly Ever hear of canada, australia, new zealand, and a bunch of island colonies that still consider the queen their head of state?
Is that all what is left?
If you consider a 1/3'rd of a continent, 2/3 of another continent, and several islands, large and small to be not much territory, then yes.
I'm sure USA will have some satellites in the future too. Even after losing all the imperial power.
Imperial power? This isn't 1850 mate, it has long since fallen out of style and practice.
Look at Germany. German Empire is gone too.
Every state before fell.
After having all of their territory oppressed and broken up into several powers forcefully by the british, french, and soviet empire, then I guess so.
USA will have a stalemate with the world. Or it can get hot. But USA will lose mostly everything.
Anyway
Regardless of the outcome.
You believe so, but what makes you think that the world will suddenly just upandatem get angry at the US?
It won't. It will just resist here and there and one day resistance will be stronger.
And, why do you consider the world as one?
It is a finite substance.
What?
You can't escape Earth.
It is a closed system.
You can send some people out.
The fuck are you trying to say?
