I have provided the hard data from a respected institution to show that the US remains a manufacturing and economic power at least as of 2013, and have seen no hard data in return, just assertions that, while having been popular in certain circles, are not born out by economic realities and hard...

aw posted before me :D. Great news for the budding South Korea US Japan trilateral alliance! May South Korea and Japan mend their bridges soon.

U.S. overtakes France to become Germany's top trading partner| Reuters Likely temporary but it still underscores the deep integration across the Atlantic, and is somewhat of a stick in the eye for proponents of American decline :).

Lol please:disagree:, this is a free forum and I have given you nothing that could be construed as harassment, and no I don't follow you :rolleyes: It's a relatively small forum and I happen to be interested in Geopolitics as well as global events. Everything I have posted is well reasoned imo...

Supposedly there has been an official accusation that the economic zone was used to fund North Korea's nuclear and ballistic missile tests. Given the South Korean government's position on both North Korean testing in those areas how could they possibly open it again while such an accusation...

There's nothing we really need to prove to you, you have made your own views clear and are dead set on them, you won't even respond to criticism with anything but one liners and vague allusions of a prejudicial nature anymore, or at least I haven't seen anything besides that. We aren't...

Yes. When an economy is in growth, its heading for a recession, when an economy is in recession, its heading for growth (well unless it collapses and the state fragments) I suppose this means the US is doing well now.

Again, the irony is you are doing the same thing you laugh at China declinists for doing. Yes the Service sector is the ovewhelming majority of our economic output, but that only shows how massive the service sector is. Again our manufacturing is only slightly behind China. and has not been...

US is actually on the cusp of a Space Renaissance! The Shuttle while very capable and without which the ISS would have only been a dream, was still a technological dead end in its own right. The rise of private companies in space flight in America, especially the fervor over SpaceX, and its...

The US is the second largest manufacturing nation in the world. To call the US economy not 'a real economy' and an insolvent nation when it is one of the most well-diversified countries in the world is ludicrous, especially when you use Russia of all countries as a counter-example. The Irony...

That is a poor election strategy though.He is catering to the far right while alienating the center. He could possibly win the Republican nomination, but he will lose the middle.

Trump has divided the Republican party, but not the US. Democrats are thanking trump for rendering the Republicans irrelevant (if he wins the bid) in the General election. That is actually why the Republican party is scared of him, because he is an assured loss that caters to the far right, not...

All this talk about a East Asian Union, cooperative, or whatever still strikes me as having the same basis in reality as the North American Union, that is, none at all. North American Union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thanks for your insightful input :disagree: It totally follows the train of the discussion before it.

The slave comment is a storm in a teacup, the more out there thing is the context of their discussion, why were they even discussing that bizarre hypothetical of Japan becoming a US State? o_O

We were enemies, and China or Japan would have gladly used it if they had the weapons at the time, don't act like they wouldn't have in the depths of world war 2. The president actually asked a general about using the bomb on Germany after the battle of the bulge. Would the atomic bomb have...

Patriotism is love or devotion to ones country, and I never accused you or any Chinese member of 'twisting his arm'. as if any of you could. His support for North Korea contradicts that patriotism because North Korea has stated publicly, and many times, its willingness to nuke Japan, its...

Why would India or China want to antagonize NATO? They have no reason to and it would lead to them alienating Europe..

Is it just me or have you softened your tone?:o: Maybe im confusing you with another poster... Does the SCS have a problem with piracy still? I mean more than poaching. Well in anycase it would serve as a quick reaction force for natural disaster aid as well. So that would be a regional benefit.
