>>82054805 (OP)The fall of the US Empire will inevitably happen when the sheer numerical superiority of China and its manufacturing capacity overwhelms the US's soft power. You think a militarily and economically powerful country with 6 times the population of its rival will be content being second best? No, there will be a final confrontation and one will come out on top.
That's one (of MANY) reasons why I want to leave Australia, because Australia is a client state of the US and I don't want to be dragged into a war with China which we will not win by sheer force of numbers. There's more fuckin' Chinese in my city than actual Australians. The West cannot win against China on a pure numbers perspective.
