I agree, I think if things go on like this for another 100 years there will be a Muslim Christian Showdown.

What about the Cold War? Russia was pretty close to America's status at the height of the Cold War with USSR, then their economy bottomed out and then they fell on hard times all without lifting a fist despite their vast military might.

China has the oldest continuously recorded culture in the world dating back thousands of years.
But yeah, they can't feed their own people and have no way of making it on their own.
Keep thinkin that, friend.

The former Soviet Union was nowhere near America economically from 1950-to 1990, its one of the main reasons why the soviet union collapsed. First rule " Never try to compete against a country that has more power, wealth and resources than you do!)
The people of Russia were the ones who wanted change ( they wanted a western lifestyle) so things evidently were going to happen within the Soviet union.
China is different it has soft power (economic strength) and hard power ( military strength) frankly this will be a big problem for Americas longterm global ambitions.
America is struggling economically and has no money to support the big military they have with current taxation policies. If America sits back and does not stop China. China will be the leading global power in 2020. Its the reason i believe a war with China and the United States is unavoidable.

Oh so now the USA does have some threats? You do know that the Chinese and Russians have moved undetected inside US Miltitary drills in the past? They aren't as stupid as you think they are.

I suppose you have a point about China. However I think America's resources are vastly underestimated because we import so much. Infact I would bet we currently have have more resources available then China. No one takes into account that China has been producing and exporting more goods then probably any other country and the vast majority of these goods have been made out of Chinese resources. That being the case.... The opposite is true in the US. We import so much and produce so little from our own resources that if Americans had to rely on there own resources I think we could for a long time. We have resources. We just aren't really using them.

You aren't even making sense.
If 300 million Chinese people didn't have access to water, 300 million people would be dead in 8 days. This isn't the case

And who told you that' the Russians. or was it The USA Military that released that little bit of Info.
If it was the USA then you have to wonder why they would admit that their defenses can be broken with ease and undetected.
Now if they were undetected how do we know about it and how are we talking about it not unless your russian and you did it.
and if China released the Statement how do we know the are not making it up.

No you are not making sense; I gave you a link that explained it all. access to water means running water means bore holes means wells.
They have no clean sanitised water and the water they have could be delivered in trucks or anything.
I cant believe Im even answering this.
