Oh it will. First thing that will be cut is the military budget. Maybe shut down bases in Europe and other countries. You would still have a huge army in your own country and still a power to be reckoned with. But you would have less of a foot print in the rest of the world. With a crippled economy i doubt America would still plough billions into the armed forces.Delsana said:The major debt and crippled economy probably won't even bother America's status in all truth.SonOfVoorhees said:I agree, they are, but for how long? America is in major debt and crippled economy. China rich and is catching up fast and so is Russia once more. An they are two countries i dont think America will fight. The Uk was a world superpower before America, and we lost that title after being made bankrupt due to fighting WW2.Delsana said:And yet, they are still the number one super-power.SonOfVoorhees said:I doubt america would give a crap, as a country they are more self obsorbed and dont have much interest in any thing outside their borders. For instance, WW2, didnt give a crap and happily made money off both sides until Japan attacked them. But also 9/11 was a big deal for them because they never get attacked due to how far they are from most countries. Where as the UK, for instance, have had terror attacks from IRA and our own Al Queda bombings and also we had the blitz in WW2 same as most of Europe did. So i think overal, as sad as terror attacks are, for most countries, weve had worse and thats something we can look back on for strength. America never had that, they dont know how to deal with these situations. And, in all honesty, dealt with it badly.
