Which of the following nations do you think would have the greatest positive effect on the world if they were the sole global superpower (as the US is now)? Poll coming.

Brazil. They would have to send their samba girls as envoys and ambassadors, turning everyone on, and making it impossible to continue fighting.

Its GDP dwarfs that of all other nations, including China and its military might is unparalleled. It definitely remains the sole superpower.

military might unparalled? lets try this...

US: 1.4 million active, 7,000 reserves, 2 million troops. $470 Billion spent per annum. (2005)

China:7.83 million active, 98 million reserves, 43 million troops. $360 billion spent per annum. (2006)

India: 5.65 million active, 14.67 million reserves, 3.46 million troops. $440 billion spent per annum.

Both these countries do have populaces of a billion. America has around 200 million, so lets times all of Americas stuff (except amount spent) by 5

7 million active, 35,000 reserves, 10 million troops.

You barely touch China! But China is a dictatorship so. Meh.

Numbers hardly mean anything now.

18 hijackers killed 3000 people.

US military is considered the most powerful and dominant because of its superior technological and projection power might. And last I checked, China was only spending 28 billion on its military while we were spending 500billion.

Maybe you can extract your head from whichever orifice it currently resides in and see that the US's nominal GDP is five times greater than China's. While you're at it, you may also realize the point I was making: that just because two countries are of the same color does not mean they are almost equals in terms of GDP. Of course, you probably won't do that but instead troll on the basis of your stupidity.

200 million huh? Last time I checked there were 300 million Americans.

Oh and what makes you think more is better? Do you think that India and China have the best weapons and firepower? If so, how the hell are they going to assert their power to foreign places?

I do believe that it's only the USA and Russia that have blue water navies.

We wouldnt even need the peacekeeping forces of ONU: we would just set out soccer matches in the war zones and people would stop fighting to watch the games.
