If you ever read any history books, you would have known that
historians have recorded that all empires generally have a lifetime of
about 250-300 years, and depending on squables between historians
about the details and criteria. You talk about super powers and
countries that became "super powers" may or many not have even ever
had any empire and the super power status has nothing to do with
period of empire. India is a superpower and never had an empire.
China's empire was the Mongol empire, some 1000 years ago but it was
not a super power.

> Just like WWII cut the British down from superpower to 2nd rate power,

You have such an incomplete understanding of the facts that it is
humorous. All of the European imperial relation****ps were slowly
eliminated as the client states were all given their independence,
voluntarily, not "cut down".

What is a superpower? Nuclear weapons. England (and all the other
countries) still have all these nuclear weapons. Only the US and
Russia have (according to treaties) reduced their arsenals by any
significant amount.

What is "2nd rate power"?  Everyone is ranked by GDP now, and it is
also misleading unless you look at GDP per capita. Or, per land area.
In which case, India and China are still 3rd world countries.

> this recession will cut US down from superpower to great power.

I see your anti-US wishful thinking is also based on no brains, no
thinking, and no facts.
You seem to be totally unaware that the Great Depression of 1930s was
followed by the expansion of the status of the USA, after WW2, to
superpower status. First in the world, by the way.

Like India? Oh...excuse me....India has a few nuclear weapons.
Probably would love to use them all on the Pakis.

When I read this and then think about what professional economists--
who actually know a few things--make wild predictions that are worse
than meteorological predictions, I wonder maybe I'm wasting my time
trying to educate YOU to the point where you might use more than one
percent of your brain.

Fine, you can go to China where I'm sure you will do better, selling
something to them.
So far, the whole world is still coming to the USA to either sell
goods or services, make jobs for their own people who are born in
countries that can't make enough jobs for their own people so they
dump them on the USA, and then these people turn around and spit on us
at every chance.

> This is not your ordinary recession.

I know I have read more than you about this, and I've got news for
you: business has been going through cycles as far back as there are
books on economic history. The differences  are meerly in details.
Based on the fact that virtually all of the stock markets in Asian and
the east are doing much worse than the US and the west in general, it
means you are ****ed in the brain with your thoughts.

 This is the global

I am not worried about your wishful thinking.
