US rich? You do realise the US is the natioin with the largest national debt ever. Most of the money the US owe is to China. As for the US exporting oil to China, the US will be more concerned about its own rising demand. China is expected to reach US levels of oil imports by 2030, so about half the time frame we are looking at. Where will Chinese oil come from? The Middle East and Russia. I could see a Sino-Russian resource trading deal doing a lot for both countries.anti-terrorism wrote:
LOL for those of you thinking the US will not be in 50 yrs you most think again. One fellas, 50 yrs isn't that long a period. The US will own all passage to Gold Oil and Drug (G.O.D.) within the next year. Once the US has these under control, China, yes a RICH country, will begin buying OIL from the US. China doesn't have the resources to become great so they will have to start buying from the US, in turn making the US and even richer country. Russia is a very poor country at the moment but def. has the potential to be great again (they do front very well) but never to the stint it was once, the US will ensure that. The world may be looked at as one UN collection but the US will dictate that just as they do today.
You can all see this unfolding if you just look at the current war we are in but most want to believe this is a terrorist war BUT NO IT ISN'T. It is a Gold Oil Drug war, Oil in Iraq and all the Afghan areas and all the lovely Drug money in again the Afghan areas plus the Afghan area is a unmind Gold mine just waiting to be hit.
Ya ya ya most of you may not believe me since I really never post but I do read most everything on these forums I just don't post. I couldn't pass this one up though just to see the reactions of the smart ones on here. I am not trying to be rude by that either, it is just that there seems to be a lot of people on here that believe what they believe and nobody can ever change that.
Fellas, this is the way it is going to be for a bit. The US is way to wealthy to be knocked of anytime soon. And the path the US is taking at the moment will only make them RICHER hinssssss leaving them on top longer. The greatest part about the US is they have all the money they need, will control all resources soon and the US people love to see there troops out winning wars. There is more then enough young Americans willing to go to war for the rights of the US too.
What it really comes down to though is the military. Whilst the US will never let themselves fall behind on the military, it is likely that prolonged over-expenditure on defence will drain the economy (by way of rising national debt) and this may compound problems for the US. China is, in the meantime, building a fleet of carriers, which will enable China, for the first time in history, to project military force across the world. That in itself is an alarming concept. Wars for oil by China in the Middle East could be a possible outcome.
It could go any way really, but it is misguided to think that the US is too rich and powerful to be topled from it's perch. China have the economic power, the population, the resources and the military to do it. If the budget deficits continue to go the way they have been under Bush, the US will be bankrupt within 50 years. You need a good president, like Jackson - he knew what to do about debt.
