    Every nation will have it's day.

    The next world power will be China, then it'll be Malaysia (believe me).

    The one that does exactly the same thing as the Americas are doing now, except probably to a far greater degree? Oh, I know, you <3 the European powers. Gotta love the Belgian Congo!

    the country that ends america's place as a super power doesn't need to be based on the same fundamentals. it may not be the exact same thing. i hope it will be better.

    The reason why the Romans got rid of hte JEws back then was because the Jews threated each other good. They treated symeritans horribly. And any person thatw asn't a Jew was called a Gental. BAsicly they wanted to help each other out. But they didn't want to help or contribute to other society's. I mean the Romans could've leveled Jerusalem when they first took it, but they didn't. HEck they connected the Jews to the outside world, but thye betrayed the Romans. Which is why most Jewish people are of european descent today.

    WEll yeah It'll be China and the USA. They'll be the two world Super Powers.. Yeah competition will be fierce.Economy wise. Military wise. Yes China does have the largest military int he world(I think its bigger than the USA's population.). With the USA though. When it comes to arsenal. There is no other country that can compete.

    Carthage was a civilizaztion to be feared. I mean imagine elephants crossing hte battle lines.



    Hannibal was a good general. A rival of Alexander The Great.

    Thoguh Rome has contributed a lot to this world today. The way military's are formed and trained. I mean discipline is the main factor in any military today.

    I swear, Cloud, you're just trying to troll someone into flaming you. I've never known anyone to have such an irrational hatred towards any country.

    China is a lightweight economically. Its economy is 1/3 the size of Japan's. Because of that it stands no chance militarily against the US.

    Anyways, I nuked a few countries as President Xeres of the Persians in Civilization III and I have control of all the world's oil reserves. Mwahahaha!

    If you think China currently is a super power you gotta be kidding, its not even 1/5 of Japan's Economy which is of course lower than America's and their military is not even as strong as Japan's Defense team(not america). However i expect that to change in the next 10-15years-ish as long as peace is still there.

    I still remember my uncle saying he saw an American warship when little..like all huge, and the Chinese gunboats which are like..what? Fishing boats with a tiny turret? >>; What are you smoking LB?

    Well, they're a superpower in the sense of population and growth. It's a fact* that China's birth rate is so high, they could start marching people into the Pacific, and they'd have a bridge of corpses reaching to California before they ran out.

    *not really
