User blog:Ty Rezac/Superpowers

Okay guys, I just really want to hear your guys thoughts on this.

The current superpower is the united states, with the largest economy, most advanced military, 3rd largest population, 2nd largest army, and being a nuclear state. Although, there was the Soviet Union, that was a superpower until it lost the cold war, causing it to split apart. But some belive that these countries could emerage as a superpower, Japan is not on here because as you know, they have so much technology, and the 3rd highest economy, and 10th largest population, but has gone through alot of weak growth, making Japan impossible to be a superpower. Anyways here are the potential superpowers.

1. The peoples republic of China.

This country is the most likely with the 2nd highest economy, 2nd most advanced military, largest army, largest population, and being a nuclear state. This country may emerage as a superpower, with all its power close to the USA's.

2.Russian federation

Russia the past Soviet Union, is home to the 5th largest army, 9th largest population, owning so many nuclear weapons, being one of the countries with the most military hardware. There army is also very well trained, I think they have the 11th highest economy, but im not to sure. But my mom's friend lived in the soviet union, she said you have to join the army after you finish collage, Im not to sure if Russia does that now though.

3.European Union

I don't know if the EU is more powerful than Russia or not, but let me tell you about this one, has the world's highest economy, largest population (if it was a country) and being that Germany,France,and the united kingdom are potential superpowers, and also being that they have nuclear weapons.

4. India

India may be a poor country, but it is not a country to mess with, it has the 2nd largest population, 3rd biggest army, 10th highest economy, and being a nuclear state. They say India will one day have the largest population, highest economy, and become the dominant superpower. This theory is called the indian century.

5.Brazil

Although not being a nuclear state, or being as populated as eu,india,china, and usa. Brazil has the 5th largest population, 7th highest economy, haveing relations with most countries, and a large army. They say Brazil will one day rise as latins americas first superpower. But Brazil is the least likely potential superpower to be a superpower.
