Topic	Which is the most powerful country in the world?

It may have had a lot of people but it simply didn't have the infrastructure to be able to function as a world power. However due to multiple great trade deals and a lack of checks on their power they've been allowed to effectively explode military-wise. Now not only are their cities developed but their military is modernized and arguably beats the U.S. in certain areas while having a larger population pool to draw from. Removing nukes from the equation if the U.S. and China went at it now while the former might win the cost would be heaaaavy. Compared to a similar bout in 2000 or 2010 in which the U.S. would likely see a situation similar to the Iraq war in terms of how the war would play out (in that the standing armies would be quickly overwhelmed leading to the capture of almost all key points and leaving the remaining forces stuck in gruella warfare to cling on). Uhh you realize America spends way more on the military than anyone else, right? China might have a bigger population but America would wipe the floor with them if a war broke out. Why do you think WWIII hasn't happened yet? Because America would win and no one wants to start a war they know they can't win, that's why they stick to proxy wars --- Muscles Chicago Bears \| Chicago Blackhawks \| Chicago Bulls \| Chicago Cubs \| NIU Huskies <cite>Muscles posted [p:950066796] in Which is t...
