Good dodge...Uhmmm NOT really...
News Is the United States truly in control of the world?
Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the perception of U.S. power and influence globally, with participants debating the extent to which the U.S. can control or destabilize other nations. One viewpoint suggests that while the U.S. has significant military capabilities, its restraint in using them is noteworthy. There is a recognition that other countries, particularly China, are aware of the U.S.'s power and may eventually surpass it economically due to demographic advantages and the adoption of free trade and capitalism. The conversation also touches on the implications of resource scarcity and the potential consequences of allowing other nations to grow economically, which could threaten the U.S.'s current standard of living. Additionally, the discussion includes a critique of spelling and grammar errors, highlighting a tendency to nitpick rather than engage with the substantive points being made. Overall, the thread reveals a mix of serious geopolitical analysis and light-hearted banter, illustrating the complexities of international relations and national identity.

spelling etc
However, Andy81's are rather alarming, if he's a native speaker of English - ~7 separate errors in ~50 words! Among our members there may be some EFL/ESL teachers; perhaps they could tell us how they would feel about this level of error from one of their students?

None of us are perfect, and every PF poster has surely made typos and spelling mistakes.
