Too bad you Americans don't know as much about American politics ..as Canadians LOL
Your naïvity is showing. Again. Can't fault you for that, though. You don't know any better.
An economy based on infinite growth in a limited world with limited ressources? (sic)
You're talking about China, right ? Because it sounds an awful lot like you are describing China.
Russia no doubt. It's an easy question.
An amazing country with a strong history a huge culture and countless ressources.
I was asking Spoetnik, who deflected and ignored the question, but thanks for your perspective

Who has the Military capabilities to neutralize the USA ? China would put up a strong showing. Definitely not Russia. Certainly not Canada.
Please give me one catastrophe a country faced which was not caused by USA in last 50 years xD
- Thailand Tsunami
- Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster
- Chernobyl
- Haiti Earthquake
Want me to go on ?

I have been a P2P / File Sharing activist for a decade or two now..
The word you are looking for is "Pirate". You are a rationalizing, unrepentant, entitled Intellectual Property thief.
