Probably be best of inviting the commonwealth, maybe the rest of the EU, and seeing as we'll have gone that far, soon the whole world would have to be united as one.......

if they wanted to saudi arabia could take us out if they wanted to. it might mean suicide for them but if they decided to take out all of their money from the US economy it would be a crippling blow.

If you've been reading news about the UN, Germany, Japan, Brazil, and India have all applied to be permanent members of the Security Council. They want to join the US, Russia, UK, France, and China.

Novus Ordo Seclorum. Just like it says on our dollar bill.

Black helicopters and the men in black jokes are not going to change that. It's not a conspiracy theory(there's no attempt at secrecy, no one admits to themselves what it is) . It's simply global socialism that subjugates the will of the individual to that of the State. If you are religous it is the system mentioned in the Book of Revelations (you know who runs that!). You can still buy stuff without the mark
(tax ID number) but try starting a business that sells a product without the mark(tax ID number). It cannot be done (unless you sell something illegally) and most see nothing wrong with this. It's right there in black and white. Better recognise!

Brazil doesn't have nukes or even a military that is anything to shout about, and it's economy isn't a major player in the scheme of things.........

They used to. Probably still do IMHO

Active nuclear arms program in the 1980s was later shut down; signed the 1990 treaty for a nuclear-weapons-free zone in Latin America.

The EU, has a possible shot. No doubt the goal for the EU is to gain an even playing field with the US. As it is now all they can really do is complain

There is absolutely no doubt that the next superpower will be China.

It will not happen during my life-time, or perhaps for another 150 yeas, but it will certainly happen, of that I am certain.

I see [somewhere in] China coming up as a fourth Rome. This, of course, requires the demise of Moscow, but that is a given (any objections?). China could be an incredibly powerful country within the next few years if they would go about certain reforms, but their government is too stuck in their ways. Oh well, better for us. If China doesn't take action within the next ~50 years, I think India will be a much more formidable power.

Mate, Australia is going to be the next super power, per capita we are the greatest nation in the world, we only have a population of 20 million and we can out drink, out fight and out f**k most. We did awesome at the olympics, we can drink anyone under the table, we're well loved by most and we can fight crocodiles so we're F**K** tough. We just need to get the population upto 200 million, the out f***ing bit should bring us home there and bingo, big, burly aussies charging whoever on kangeroos and emus. Look out I say!
