Here's the thing, I have a lot of problems with America but it's much harder to become a superpower than people think. China? India? Yeah, maybe when more than 5% of their population has indoor plumbing they can talk about being a superpower.
Did you guys know the U.S. DOD is spending more money on building a totally robotic Army by 2023 then they spent on building the atomic bomb? Just to put that into perspective, the Manhattan project employed more people than General Motors at the time. So this is huge. There are already like 15,000 robotic drones in Afghanistan and Iraq just being used as test beds. The people at the top realize this is the future of America's supremacy.
The country that is able to build a fully functional army unit of robotic fighting machines will easily be the superpower. Don't laugh, it's true.
Look, I get pretty disgusted with America most of the time but it's going to be a hell of a lot longer than 50 years before the U.S. is dethroned as the most powerful nation on Earth.
We invented the glory hole for crying out loud!
