What do u think is the next rising power after the US and China ?

In order:





1. India- developing economy, huge cheap labor force


2. Brazil- can derive energy from sugar


3. Israel- US Proxy State


4. Iran- More tech than the world gives them credit for, will be a force to be reckoned with if they don't attempt to bring down the U.S. dollar and prompt an invasion.


5. Venezuela- Regional power with popular renegade political leadership and large petrolium reserves.


6. Saudi Arabia- Sheer amount of oil. The royal family is capitalizing on that and are beginning to see the benefit of letting thier countrymen prosper as well.


7. Pakistan- Musharraf will be overthrown by extremist elements and the new government will be supported by China and be irremovable by the U.S. Pakistan will likely become the center of the radical muslim world. The U.S. cannot keep Musharaf in power for long, and the ISI won't be that effective against a popular uprising.

We should not forget Russia which still have the potential to come up and stand as power next to us.
Reply:US will always be the major power in the world. many US businesses use personnel in India.

Reply:India. India and China will rule the next century while the US struggles to remain relevant. The only reason we'll have any clout is because of the size of our military and given the state of the national budget, it's doubtful we'll be able to sustain that much past 2020 or so.

Reply:Brasil and India are on the way up economically, I hear.





Of the two, India probably shades it due to its size.

Reply:While India is rising in population, population doesn't equal power, and in India's case, it equals problems. Right now, lots of American jobs are outsourced all over the world, but mainly in China and India because the people can legally work for much less over there. Their large populations and high poverty rates mean a high supply of unskilled laborers.





Japan is an ever-rising economic power, as are Taiwain and South Korea. If their governments formed a cartel, then combined they would be a power to be reckoned with.





I suspect that Arab states in the Middle East will slowly shrivel up in power as their main source of foreign revenue is in crude oil, and as alternate fuel sources are supposedly being developed, US demand for Arab oil will fall dramitically.





I beleive that the US and China will stay powerful for quite some time, however. Russia is still trying to sort itself out, but is very well a rising power again.
