Hummm this doesnt sound good the dollar will revive itself like it always does but just in case Im denying all relations with America so when it collapses I look better and dont end up with the immigrants.... whoops sorry that was my post in the World leaders forum and guess what they agreed... This is what happen ever time when A countries economy collapses all their allies abandon ship like hordes of rats... Just the way things work...

Hey Pinky where's The Brain, use your gnarf powers and go fetch the Brain.

Hummm this doesnt sound good the dollar will revive itself like it always does but just in case Im denying all relations with America so when it collapses I look better and dont end up with the immigrants.... whoops sorry that was my post in the World leaders forum and guess what they agreed...

A's economy is, in my opinion, not going to collapse, its in the tank, yes but not going to collapse. The dollar is weaken'd not weak.

If countries abandon the US as you say that that is just the way things work ... a troll would say, "well see ya, wouldn't want to be ya" or "dont let the door slapp you in the ass on your way out" or "shizzbott" or "(insert whatever stupid unreal comment here ---> ____ ___ )"

In truth, it would not matter one Iota to A for any country to abandon her. BECAUSE once ya'll got into trouble, who would you call .. yup the ghost busters and thats the US. And the people of the US would feel your pain and go out to help you as much as they could. Dragg their poor tired skinned butts way over to where the ghosts are and die for your freedom. Its just the way they are, and everybody knows it, cuz that's why they keep calling.



A tolerates a lot of shizzit from the rest of the world. Cuz they know most of the world dont yet git the idea of freedom of opportunity, freedom of speaking your mind, freedom of expression, freedom to damn well be who the ____ you want tobe [to a lawful point]. A believes if you want to be stupid .. be stupid, if you want to achieve to know the unknown ... do that, if you want to play in the game of capital ... do that, however expect everyone to hate yor face, but love your wallet.

And like your analogy goes, when reversed the reverse will be true also. Once the ship is aright, then the rats will crawl back accross the mooring lines and go hidie hide back into their little hovels, because they have discerned the truth about A, and that is, She is the land of opportunity to advance your station in life. Her ideas of freedom from tyranny and oppression are contagious.

oh and before I step down from this soap box, I would like to add this saying of one of life's truths:

it takes a boatload of acquaintances to find those few true friends, yet once found? they be friends to the end.

I tried finding Brain but couldnt... bugger...

Anyway I will counter what you said there... France and Britain once upon a time everybody called on them and now days its not as much but time will tell time will tell...

[King Alboin]

^that is soo true. even called ya'lls butt down there to go way up there to do what needed to be done. got no beef with you guys down there at all.

But then Brittain and France are true friends, so when they call the US well no question, [well not much any way] and as it is now, its more of a working relation of co-approved like minded goals.

So okay, here is a 'poser; suppose you take all three and ya'll out of the equation. Well then who is left to do what needs to be done?

And more over, what would be your view of the composition of the world .. lets say in five year increments? ya know .. 2016, 2021, 2026 etc...

[Digger Walters]

2016 without us four? World holding together just.... 2021 Crumbling....2026 World just about buggered.... 2031 World In a Mad Max state.... 2036 World starting to peice back together with communites... 2041 World starting with towns and society similar to the Romans with our tech... World then progress till about 2080 Where they are back together.. If they are lucky...

[Hehe]

If you took Britain, France and America out? Well, there wouldn't be many people left to "do what needs to be done" as you say. Germany is quite strong, but strong enough to keep the world moving? Probably not. Take them out of the equation, and things would get considerable bleaker.

And we can't know what the world will be like in 5 years. We'll see

annnd the down under, dont forget them

Germany is quite strong ... with protection. take the four out and what will , in your view, happen?

to say no one knows is of course true and factual. It is illogical to forecast the unknown, but give it a try.

^yep, in my view, this is very insightful. I agree, even to the point of if they are lucky.

[Hehe]

Economically? Or generally?

And what, we've just disappeared?
