as we know that since 5 decades ago, US became to be a Great Country on many aspects. On technology, economic, politic & democracy, law, military, science, and so on… but now, there are many problems hit this Super Power Country. Do you think US still a Super Power Country when dollar has no capable to compete with the euro? In Democracy, did this country still respect the human right even when they invated other country???  Just write down your comment here!!! because your comment show your perception. Thanks

I believe USA lose this status years ago. Euro is stronger than dollar. I remember, 15 years ago, that mexicans use to invest their money in dollars, in order to gain more benefits, but right now, they think twice before do it, or only invest a small part in it.

 In the other hand, and like mundial forces, China, India, Russia and Japan are growing up really fast. And worst, many countries see USA as the "major villian" and most dangerous country in the world.

How do you define superpower?

 

I think it would be hard to argue that the US is not the most powerful country militarily and economically, still.

Hi,

DEAR FRIENDS,

Of course still it is , because it has many factors which this situation needs ,

but If you see or feel some of weakness in it ,

 it depends on some of their weak governors behaviors which unfortunately They have done , did & still doing in bad, even worst  works ,

as you know if you have a great power you need a great mind & decisions as well as it too ,

as every body knows their power have been & is from their scientists who may be ,they have different opinions against their governors in many fields ,

we respect their people ,their scientists , their all nice efforts in a lot of issues ,

but it seems their governors have to revise in their behaviors & realize they are not dictator & others not slaves ,

 we have to respect other opinions & if they haven't some opinions as same as ours  we have to listen & choose the best ones

 may be a teenager from a poor country has a nice opinion which we ( all of us ) haven't it ,

we can improve our knowledge when we let others to say their opinions,

otherwise we will stay in our poor knowledge & never cant improve it

& in this situation the other persons use their minds & steady they will go faster than us

(if you see the progress of some countries like china &… ) you can see the speed of their progress is so higher than U S

( of course some of it ,is normal & depend on many economic elements but many of them is from the American governors behaviors too)

I like to say :

Do something which others respect you & love your behaviors

 it means try govern on the hearts of people ,

in this case they will love you & your decisions & no need to any force to use for dictate your opinions ,

( try use your love not your hate , be sure you can reach to many of your aims without any cost but love ,

 try it ,

the great men are some ones who can make a great change in their mind & behaviors) 

 see around the world & find out your politics haven’t many fans , while if you are a real beloved super power you must have a huge number of fans ,

of course a large number of your lovers in fact love your scientists your people & … as the last word I can say :

 lets come down and see others & respect their opinions ,  if we believe democracy  - the real one of it – &… good luck  

Thanks for nice topic

 Forgive me for long comment
