Are there any nations which we can predict as 'Emergent Powers'?
Pretty much ALL of the world is in decline.
Britain and France have declining populations and increasingly worse employment rates and housing, as well as small militaries already at the peak of their budgets
The US has the same problems outside of Military, though their military spending is putting them in huge debt, and it's just used for an endless cycle of power projection.
China's stock market will soon collapse, and there is HUGE civil unrest
Russia has PATHETIC birthrates, a dead economy and terrible living conditions with no a horrible export economy
Is there a single power actually ON THE RISE?
Logan Morales
India, china, brazil and saudi arabia have potential. The EU will most likely collapse and Europe will be split between USA and Russia.
Luis Murphy
The emerging powers of today are all pawns of the greatest powers of today.
For the most part USA, China and Russia are the three puppet masters that control the majority of what goes on in this world and in most countries.
Caleb Jenkins
>India The most likely, 2020 memes aside but with Mass divisions and independence movements. it's a wonder they've held together so long. >china No. Just No. They're at their peak, or were 5 years ago. There's massive hatred towards the communist party, terrible military conditions and a growing Christian population. There's going to be huge riots and a massive government overhaul there in the next 15-20 years
>Brazil Yeah, probs
>Saudi Arabia Saudi Arabia is an oligarchy that sits on oil. Oil is running out there, though.
Dominic Thomas
Russia and China have no fucking influence outside their borders. Russia's pride is getting fucking georgia to do as they want, but they're isolated by Nato.
China can't even beat the fucking phillipines.
The USA is the only superpower right now.
Parker Hernandez
Saudi Arabia's oil will become extremely less valuable in the face of a trumpian America.
Give it. 8 years and I can bet you that either Saudi Arabia is largely abandoned, making it lose majorly in terms of profit OR it is incredibly reformed in an attempt to save their profits.
Carter Nelson
argentina is white
Thomas Reed
It's already basically a spoilt brat the USA lets run around a bit. If the US even slightly put its foot down, Saudi Arabia cowers back.
The USa can probably hold onto its status as superpower IF it can imprive employment housing and economic growth within the next 20 years.
Brazil and India are growing, but probably will be regional powers at best.
The only countries with potential to gain greater influence are Britain, France, Germany and Japan if they fix their birthrates and employment
Daniel Lopez
America is on the rise, bigly.
Thomas Bennett
Dude, Brazil will be literally bankrupt before 2018 takes place.
The emerging nations are the likes of Nigeria, Indonesia and so on.
Chase Lee
I never said they have the same amount of power as the USA, just that they have the other two largest spheres of influence.
The U.S. is the puppet master of Europe (having dominance over Germany, the UK and France.)
And also to a lesser extent it has massive power over Asian countries and In South America.
The only other countries of comparable influence are Russia and China.
Tyler Myers
No. Sup Forums has lied to you.
In 20 years, hispanic working class will be the majority of The US. The US has horrible employment and housing also.
Trump won't reverse all of that in 8 years. He can't make the middle class have children.
Joshua Ward
Russia and China have no real influence over anyone though, except shitholes like North Korea and Azerbaijan.
Julian Adams
The European powers you mentioned are tied to the economy of the USA to such a degree that if the USA put its foot down, they'd be ruined.
Japan may have of chance of gaining such powers, too bad that the USA has such power over it that if it ever wanted to invade it there'd pretty much be no defense.
Their entire military is nothing but support roles to assist the U.S. Military.
Nathaniel Diaz
The majority of the USA has literally no problem with the UK, France, Japan and Germany gaining greater power. People like Trump have ENCOURAGED it.
When i say they can gain power, i don't mean they'd sever their ties to the US. The US needs these guys to grow to reduce the burden of military spending on them.
Jordan Peterson
That's assuming that trump hasn't moved the Overton window and won't continue to do so for the next 8 years.
Nationalize policies will allow us to directly curtail such events.
He CAN drastically improve the economy, get ready to see a lot of inflation and employment under trump once he picks the chairman of the Fed.
Trump's right wing keynesian will only advance the economy to new heights.
Hunter Gray
Norway for world power 2020 :^)
Gavin Murphy
A more right wing, capitalist economy will only increase the power of banks and increase working class birth rates though.
He can't influence or force the middle class to regain power again.
I like Trump but be realistic.
Nathan Hill
Americans will start to care when these countries try to infringe upon our sovereignty. When they try to show their feelings of greatness, when they try to show themselves as an alternative to the USA.
This country is a very prideful, if you damage US pride get ready for a war.
Adam Cruz
There really isn't 'huge civil unrest' in China and the whole world will do whatever it can to prop up it's stock market.
They have plenty of influence, most the world's foreign policy revolves around them.
Cooper Collins
How is growing in power an impact to your sovereignty?
Other countries are allowed to be powerful too. The US needs to accept that.
Chase Brooks
Because of your retarded Brexit Germany is (again) becoming an emerging power within Europe and maybe even within the western world.
"The world's going to spend a lot of time looking to you, prime minister, as we see more and more challenges to the liberal international order since the end of World War II .- you and Angela Merkel." - Biden
Liam Allen
Really? Russia can barely push ukraine around, China struggles for control from the Philippines.
Foreign policy revolves around them to keep them in this box, not get them back in it.
Charles White
Your country will halve in population in 50 years.
Xavier Anderson
The U.S. will never accept that it isn't up to the task.
There's a very good reason why Neoconservatives are on the Right, because the majority of right wing America feels proud of their military. Because the military is the one government institution with almost universal support in the USA.
These feelings of pride won't let other countries advance if it means stepping on America's toes.

The EU is coming to and end, and without it Germany won't matter.
Andrew Sullivan
Russia just annexed Crimea, has Europe coming cap in hand for gas and most of Europe is shitting itself when Trump says fuck NATO, not to mention the hacking debacle, sports doping scandals and the middle east. Every power in teh wets has it's eyes fixed on Russia and you say they have no influence?
Again with China, Japan shits itself when Trump says fuck Japanese bases because of China not NK, China IS the world market currently and is spending in key future areas like renewable energy and space tech. It is more influential than America right now.
Sebastian Smith
>These feelings of pride won't let other countries advance if it means stepping on America's toes. But this is a negative view of the US' allies growing in power.
Let's say, in the next 15 years France and Britain up the military spending, and when combined are as powerful than the US.
This will >Reduce NATO spending burden on the US >Make the American-Anglo-Franco alliance more powerful >Let them combine their power to form more operations together >Isolate enemies of western democracy
The only thing it damages is US prestige. Britain and France will never declare war on the US.
Ayden Nelson
>Russia just annexed Crimea But they couldn't annex the rest of the Russian speaking areas without causing too much upset.
As you literally said in their post, their foreign influence lives off hacking and sports doping and supporting middle eastern leaders.
They have a huge AIDs problem, terrible birth rates, terrible living conditions and a terrible export economy.
> Again with China, Japan shits itself when Trump says fuck Japanese bases because of China not NK, China IS the world market currently and is spending in key future areas like renewable energy and space tech. It is more influential than America right now. No, it isn't. It's an export based market with a large but rundown military. There is no inner support for the communist party either.
Easton Lee
Also simple demographics doom any economic development in China past 2040. It's not gonna happen, they'll run right into economic stagnation much harder than even Japan did.
Oliver King
This. It's flat out delusion that they're gonna be the new US.
Zachary Cox
>No inner support for the communist party citation needed.
>rundown military It doesn't need to intervene, America is on its way out thanks to reckless foreign policy and China can infiltrate foreign markets in any case.
>export based market Its only concern right now is that GDP is stabilising and it has a devalued economy to stay competitive in the export market which is preventing standards of living catching up. Pretty minor concerns that can be rectified as soon as the government felt the export industry had picked up.
Joseph Jackson
You're all wrong. Canada 2030
Julian Rogers
China has massive influence in Africa, They have been dumping billions in to that continent and it has bought them power. USA and Russia have largely ignored Africa, so China has bought it up.
Oliver Morgan
>>Britain and France have declining populations and increasingly worse employment rates
Britain's popluation is rising and it has, since 2009, added more jobs to its economy than the rest of the EU combined.
Britain is predicted to be the only European country that is still a top 10 economy by the end of the century.
Isaiah Rodriguez
>Russia has PATHETIC birthrates ahmed please, Russia native birth rate one of the best in European plane.
Tyler Davis

Because it's africa. it's resource rich but devoid of infrastructure.
>nigeria How?
Jacob Clark
It's 1.59. most coming from the shitty muslim areas in the caucuses.
Jeremiah Gomez
To find the point of power, find the areas with the most christians and the least niggers.
It's really that easy.
Russia and America have no niggers and the church is the largest growing religion in both.
Juan Foster
he who holds the clear and liquid gold holds the power.
Jayden Howard
>russia and america have no niggers what?
Cameron Carter
Ireland has potential. We still have a high birth rate among whites and plenty of unpopulated land to make space for white refugees. Also even though our politicians are cucked our people are pretty based so we will likely turn Nationalist once the other Europeans die.
Jordan Jones
I meant to say China has no niggers. They'll grow powerful, but they still won't be extreme.
Luke Rodriguez

Joseph Cook

Eli Rodriguez
An ancient civilization will reemerge after the Assyrian people are destroyed.
Caleb Carter
No. they won't.
There's no support for communism in china outside the party itself. The stock market will collapse in 5-10 years. It'll be the great depression in China all over again. You'll know when it happens, it'll be the biggest event since 9/11
Jaxson Sullivan
>The USA is the only superpower right now.
Then explain why is USA keep funding and sending their troops to train and die to defeat Shia for the Sunni royalties of Saudi Arabia and Qatar if they are so powerful when there is no benefit whatsoever for burgers to be involved in the Middle East. The oil benefit have long be debunked since US gain absolutely no profit over its allocation and contracts, which is given to Asians.
Jackson Carter
You could buy a military to conquer Scandinavia with that oil money if you really wanted.
Actually, please do that and get rid of the fucking Muslims.
Logan Allen
To make sure the governments are loyal to them. they're trying to maintain their puppet governments in the region
Jeremiah Gray
You are not going to successfully integrate the brown people, and neither is France. You're both living on borrowed time.
Connor Richardson
What happens when the switch the party's government?
Jace Morgan
Oh no, they're courting the continent of 70 IQ niggers picking their noses on piles of minerals, how could we have missed this strategic opportunity.
Robert Sanchez
Saudi Arabia and Qatar fund al-Qaeda, the group that openly hate USA and called it the Great Satan. The same group that commit atrocities to kill burgers whenever and wherever they can. The group also influence Muslim worldwide to commit crimes and organized terrorist cells against non-Muslims under the banner of wahhabism and salafism. They also funded the Muslim Brotherhood and ISIS. These people have never been the puppets of USA. In fact, it seems based on evidences like the Podesta emails, the US politicians are the ones being beholden to their wishes, disregarding what normal Americans want.
Lincoln Cruz
The EU couldn't function as an emerging military power in war as they have completely destabilized their societies.
Jeremiah Phillips
They won't touch the niggers. In the future all repetitive jobs will be dominated by machines.
China will just a massive auto machines and a few teams of Asians down there to start working and just shoot all the niggers that come close.
Actually read up on what they've been doing.
Alexander Parker
>Are there any nations which we can predict as 'Emergent Powers'?
Turkey & Brazil are going to grow into more dominant positions in their respective regions. Both have developed domestic heavy defence production industries (which I'd say is a very good sign)
Sebastian Martinez
Germany, I like you and your people are really nice when I visited there but you don't have what it takes to be considered a power in any sense, right now. Heck, even other powerful Germans don't respect your own government by circumventing the Russian economic ban by simply setting up Russian proxies for their companies so they can do business with Russians as usual. Hungary and other East Europeans don't care about any threats you belt out each week since they know you lack the balls to enforce them. Greece, Spain and Italy keep mocking your good will for years and seems to going to do so and keep borrowing while doing little to fix their expensive social programs, evasive tax payers and lukewarm economies.

Only because of mass-immigration.
Remember that 90% of new jobs have gone to immigrants.
If Britain is still in the top 10 in 2050, it won't meaningfully be Britain anymore.
