    Default The west has ruled earth to long already...

    I believe that the west, with America as its leader, 'governed' the world for to long already... I believe that the time of change is near.. possibly another world war with eastern nations coming out of it victorious and becoming new superpowers?
    your thoughts and opinions?

    No the east had it to long before it time for south or maybe the north to be rulers of the universe
    Know where you're going in life . . . you may already be there!

    What is this "East" you talk of?


    And since when it has been possible to divide world in these factions?


    I do not approve this.

    The US has only been around for 200 years. In the span of things, that's a blink of the eye to man's civilized world history. The east was dominant long ago. It's just the Wests' turn.

    Can't you see? China getting stronger, Russia getting stroger and mysterious, Islam uniting against the west. On the other hand the west has problems within its own borders and is gradualy losing grip of things...

    so... can't you see or are you just afraid to see?

    The way the West is typically defined, includes Russia. Beyond the fact that Russia is a horrendous position demographically/politically/economically, and is NOT on the rise...lol

    Long is a subjective term.
    I have approximate answers and possible beliefs, and different degrees of certainty about different things, but I’m not absolutely sure of anything, and many things I don’t know anything about. But I don’t have to know an answer. I don’t feel frightened by not knowing.

    No one out there can challenge the West (or even the US alone) militarily, and no one can survive without the West's economy. So, for the time being, no.

    Bah.

    All this crap about East and West, I love both but this whole idea of comapring the East and West to somethign as though it were Light or Dark, Good or Evil....

    I don't think a wanning of power in the 'West' would mean a rise of 'Eastern' strength... this day and age the two depend on each other, yet these two brothers seem to want to hold a knove to each others throats.
    NOTICE: In reference to my avatar, the blue and gold sickle and hammer represent a variation of 'red' communism, my variation with its blue, standing for nuetriality and peace, and gold, for prosperity through cooperation, is a system my own... I am not evil. Thank you.

    Killing Mumakils is Islamophobic propoganda.

    Actually the EU has more soldiers than the USA. China also has more troops than both but i dont think that the chinese army's tech is as high as the forementioned continents/superpowers/federations/something you want to call it that i forgot. Russia however has oil/wood/precious metal deposits = Money + Men needed to make it a superpower.
    Also if you are interested in this doomsday scenario theres a game called BF2142 you might want to check out.

    The victor in another world war would just be very slightly less of a blasted wasteland of radioactive ash and rubble.

    Indeed...interesting how the OP is so keen for such a test of strength...test of Man's capability for destruction, more like.

    Ridiculous. Completely, unfathomably, insanely ridiculous.
