value of goods/services for belgian is in euro, and business can be done with their neighbors in german, french and dutch. Euro is also the dominant currency in international issued bonds, and stronger than dollar.
I won’t feel better about myself when USA falls down cause USA is not my enemy, i’m not a country just a human being, and i hate the idea of war and arms dominating the world but if it’s true, then i support Iran and any other country to get nukes:Dtoo, so no one will be able to claim to be leader of something…
If their is a race to become the dumbest that USA has wom so far, fair enough, sounds like anyone wants to join them:naraz:

Yes, I know it's a pleasant thought for many here. But after some contemplation, I think such an outcome may not currently be in anyone's interests. America as a world hegemon does provide certain valuable services at the moment:
Maintaining a safe environment for global trade and commerce.
The fact of the matter is that the world's major sea lanes are safe guarded by the USN. Without the U.S military, the global economy would break down into several smaller regional economies with reduced inter-continental volumes of trade.
USA is not the only military power on the planet there are other countries who do safeguard their own business fine alone (EU )
Having a global hegemon reduces the threat of war between major power blocks because each would be afraid of foreign intervention from the superpower.
NO, more and more countries getting nukes means more peace, cause everyone is getting afraid to get a nuke over its capital and that would look nasty
The superpower maintains international organs for the exchange of financial/cultural/technological information. It also maintains the majority of the global communications network.
There is no exchange, just a deal : chinese and japs are making goods, and americans ar buying them and using them...don't ask me why chinese and japs are stupid enough to work for american comfort??
A superpower can maintain the illusion of international laws that apply equally to all(except themselves and their vassals)
not anyone is dumbe enough to believe them...for example french preisdent did not buy their BS on the iraki massive destructiun missiles
As good as it sounds, the collapse of the American empire could cause a world-wide dark age. And that is probably something which is not in everyone's interests at this stage.
You are dreaming, japanese and europeans have the technology, indian and chinese have the manufacturing and university skills, africa and middle east have natural ressources....what do american have? monkey money to pay, as long as it makes illusion, the day it won't any more only them will be in deep trouble, others will adjust to change after minor problems

So you have admitted that your white masters are the hegemons. Well at least you are beings honest.
“3. The superpower maintains international organs for the exchange of financial/cultural/technological information. It also maintains the majority of the global communications network.”
what kind of garbage is this ? The Us does not maintain global communications network !!! The communication satellites around the world are operated by many many countries these days. THe Us does not even control 40% of those satellites. The US does not own the underwater cable system around the world. THose are properties of international companies.
“4. A superpower can maintain the illusion of international laws that apply equally to all(except themselves and their vassals)”
SO you have admitted that its an illusion. We don’t want the superpower’s illusion. The white man can maintain laws for other weak countries, but the white man can break any laws itself is not acceptible in modern global society.
“As good as it sounds, the collapse of the American empire could cause a world-wide dark age. And that is probably something which is not in everyone’s interests at this stage”
There would be no “dark age” if this american empire collapes. The world will go on as usually even if the US loses its hegemony. There were no dark ages when the British empire collapsed. When the Us looses hegemony some other country would become the super power. That is how the world works.
THe white man is going to be the outcaste in the future. China in couple of decades will be the biggest economy is the world !!! THe white man is slowly but gradually loosing his monopoly on the world.
THe white man is be the new dinosaur in history books.
THe whites will also become a minority in AMerica is couple of decades.
WIthout the white man able to protect, the white man’s bast*rd colonial state called israel will loose its technological and military superiorty and will also pass away in history books like apartheid south africa.
