Will America remain superpower forever?
No country can remain on top forever. The UK didn’t. France didn’t. Spain didn’t. Portugal didn’t. Turkey didn’t. Rome didn’t.

America has already been in decline for decades. The country is deeply riven. The country faces numerous serious domestic issues. The country is deeply in debt.

The country has lost its competitive edge which is why it must resort to chicken-shit, Tonya Harding-style tactics to bring down its competitors (such as China).

Will America eventually collapse? Who knows.

Will America lose its #1 position in the world? Without a doubt. And very likely within the next few decades.

It sure seems to be failing. When? How? Nobody can be exactly sure. Rome lasted over 1,000 years surviving invasions, civil war, famine, and plague. When Rome faced civil war after Caesar’s death in 44BC, I bet the average roman didn’t believe that
their empire was destined still for even more greatness. Therefore, when the Crisis of the Third Century rolled around, I bet the average Roman didn’t believe it would be the beginning of the end. All empires die.

In terms of cities, highways, trains, infrastructure, and manufacturing capacity, China already usurps the US. My crystal ball shows 4 superpowers on more or less equal economic footing in the next 10–30 yrs; The US, the EU, China, and India. It’s
going to be a tough adjustment for America, but happen it will.

India, no way.

There is 0 RnD.

No country can become a superpower relying on imported weapons snd a budget of 65 Billion dollars.

Money matters. India cannot afford a blue water navy. And those Indians who say Indian is already a superpower - please come to the reality; India is a nuclear power, not a superpower.

It certainly does but I theorized a time frame of 10–30 years. A lot can happen in 30 years. It’s hard for me to imagine a nation with 1.3B+ people, generally well educated, will not rise to become a super economic power. Only time will tell.

Not that true, though: Even China had 1 child policy, many in China still have 2nd child. In India though, I see most of the families are NOT willing to have kids, not even 1! This will lead to a rapid aging crisis and quick fall in population. And then?
Lets wait and see….

I don’t really think so. Chinese cities are well developed but anyone from China can tell you that outside of the cities, it is still pretty bad. China’s HDI is still below Mexico and Brazil. But yes they do seem to be advancing very quickly.

China has a solid foundation. The world is dependent on them. Being militarily power means nothing today. We know that in 1800, UK was the superpower, in mid 1900, US took that position.

Even Today, US will NOT be able to destroy UK without facing significant damage to itself - Mutually Assured Destruction. So how does it matter if US stays at no 1 position militarily or not.

Economically it matters a lot.

China almost entirely depends on weak govt control of industry and massive fraud and copyright violation as well as slave shops child labor and yes even some slavery but sure china is huge and has an enormous poorly maintained population with many “
areas' with no power or running water. Culturally China is fantastic but they mainly are a world power based on huge population and corruption.

If the u.s wanted to destroy China we could simply ban all transport of food to China their country overwhelmingly depends on foreign food if the u.s bought up all food supplies like Brazil and stopped supplying them with about 20% of their food their
population would starve
