What are your thoughts about...
-China close to surpassing the U.S. economically?
In terms of growth rate it has already surpassed the US. But the US economy is still stronger than Chinas and India's put together. Since the current US government is unwilling to take steps that would increase the competitive edge, the US will probably be surpassed in our lifetime.
Which is bad, in my oppinion. The US may suck balls in a lot of ways, but at least it has a lot of good intentions. There are just so many things wrong with China.
-Chinese military threats?
Meh. Besides their leaps into space, it doesn't matter. If it comes to that, the nukes will do the talking.
-What affect does the War on Terror have on us watching the Chinese?
Whaddya mean?
-Do you see China ever helping Islamo-fascist terrorists?
Not really, the chinese isn't any fonder of "terrorists" than the US. *Cough *Tibet* Cough*
-When will they surpass the U.S. overall as a superpower?
In our lifetime, thats my guess.
-How does Russia play into this?
I foresee that they revive Stalin, Lenin and Marx and then try to take over the Europe and Asia in a mad dash for a Communist Empire. Only to be beaten back by Justice League.
-How can the U.S. stay the worlds strongest nation?
Education. Free themselves from foreign energy.
