I give it about 20 years before everything collapses.

Speculation: How long will United States regime last?
I give it about 20 years before everything collapses.
Notice: "Speculation"
What "regime"? Regardless of how shitty the current administration is...and the one after that. The United States of America still commands the greatest military to ever exist in the history of mankind. We have the strongest Navy, the most advanced airforce. The most well trained infantry the world has ever known. No matter what happens, the USA is here to stay for years to come. Even if China overtakes the US economically, it will never be up to speed. It is still hindered by it's communist past. The USA has democracy, and while it has it's kinks, it is still the most progressive form of government today. It's stability is just a testament to the hundreds of years of history.
More than 30 but probably less than 100 if we don't fix our shit soon.
Longer than this thread I can assure you of that.
LOL... no the inner cities of China are pretty much at capitalism at this point. So they are closer to Capitalism with slave labor then Communism these days. Thats what lead to an economic success. Its virtually impossible for pure Communism to lead to economic success.

My God, what a horrible creation. People seeing what they want? Thank God they tried to shy away from that. I know it pisses me off when I'm in an heroic raid, yet in the back of my head all I can think is 'some casual player is playing a heroic dungeon and not wiping.' -Vodkarn
Except no. Communist China was a massive failure economically. Look up the history. There was a massive famine that led to some 45 million estimated deaths as a result of the communist system of Mao. Chinas economic success in recent history is due to it's fast moving capitalist system which is VERY NEW.
China's economic success is actually stemmed from the fact they're venturing into more and more capitalist like ways of doing business, it's not communism that causes that type of growth.
They're definitely still communist in practice as far as policies go, no "privileged" internet rights for example. They, however, are going more and more towards a capitalist enterprise in their trade deals, that's why they're booming.
The US and the EU are currently complaining that the reason China's economy is doing so well compared to the "rest of the world" is because they "unfairly" horde their natural resources and sell them at ridiculously different prices to outside sources than in house Chinese corporations.
Natural resources such as zync, and nickel, there's a LOT more our respective western sides claim they hog, but those are always the first two that come to mind for me.
Also plus the fact China is gaining more and more access to African resources due to their development of those nations over there, which they then "unfairly" regulate to outside sources.
Just from what I have seen this is the case though, feel free to disagree.
Please don't create threads just to provoke or imply nation bashing.
