How long the America can last, 5 years? 10 years?

[PeterBushMan]

After WWII, the West did 6 things.

1) If you talk about the real GDP - the buying power, China is No 1, India will be No 2, the USA will be No. 3.

2) If you talk about the real GDP - the buying power,  the top 5 will be China,

India, the USA,  Japan/Indonesia.  There will be 0 European country.

3) England will be a second country.

4) The rest of the world consider Australia as Nothing.

--The Malaysian PM Dr Mahathir said "Australia is a small country, and should act as a small country."

--Australia has been described as “gum stuck to the bottom of China’s shoe.”

5) Even Australian consider the Chinese President is the most power man in the world.

6) The West believe the rest of the world would support them to fight with Russia, they just find out now the world do not care about the West.

GDP is not "buying power".

But, apart from these random assertions about economic rankings, what is it you wish to discuss?

Quote

 

I met a traveller from an antique land,

Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,

Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,

And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;

And on the pedestal, these words appear:

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;

Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare

The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

Only that it's a foolish question...

America, being a fairly stable continental land mass, I imagine that the trend in plate tectonics will keep America as a portion of the Earth's crust for several hundred million years.  

The duration of democracy, however, a recent experiment in government after millennia of fiefdoms, monarchies, totalitarian dictatorships, and misc. authoritarian political structures, is difficult to predict.  Iceland, Isle of Man, and The Six Nations of the Iroquois all managed to keep some sort of democracy going for many centuries verging on a millennium, but those societies differed distinctly from a large modern industrialized nation and had somewhat more homogeneity and zero would-be oligarchs trying to shoulder in.  So, tough to say.

1-2  It's been pointed out that you misunderstand what GDP represents. It's the value of all the goods and services a country produces, and represents the size of its economy, not what kind of buying power it has.

3  The IMF ranks the UK as #5 in nominal GDP in the world. How is that "second class"?

4  This is just the poor opinion of one Chinese state media editor, according to your link. They don't speak for "the rest of the world". In fact, nobody I know thinks Australia is nothing.

5  You should read the link you posted. It's the opinion of one political analyst from Curtin University, not every Australian. 

6  This is a very shallow and hasty analysis of a very complex situation. Do you think it's wise to leap to such conclusions, especially given your misunderstanding of the socio-economic issues mentioned above?
