America - The richest country or not? - General

Most rich, as in most money per person? I believe Norway is pretty high up on that list. [editline]03:50AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Amez;18610500]Without the U.S Europe would be Germania.[/QUOTE] Without Europe, America wouldn't neccecarily have been anything like what it is now.

[QUOTE=Amez;18610500]Without the U.S Europe would be Germania.[/QUOTE] This. The UK was failing at fighting the Germans/Japanese before the Americans came and helped them, if Japan didn't attack Pearl Harbor they probably would have taken most of Asia and all of Australia. [sp]The battle of Singapore[/sp] [editline]09:51PM[/editline] [QUOTE=paul simon;18610596]Without Europe, America wouldn't necessarily have been anything like what it is now.[/QUOTE] You're right.

[QUOTE=Amez;18602154]Now tell me. China has numbers, although do they have the ability to transport them across an ocean? Oh and also feed them? We have better tech, better soldiers, and overall superiority over China. The kill ratio for the U.S and China would be somewhere along the lines of 1:10. Meaning one soldier could probably kill 10 Chinese soldiers. The UK is not militarily superior to the U.S. So your argument is invalid.[/QUOTE] Uhm, I'm a patriot and all that shit, but going to war with China is fucking crazy. No telling who'll win when the war comes. If we win, it's a Pyhrric victory because numbers [b]do[/b] matter. Why do you think Russia beat the shit out of Germans? German tactics were top-notch and was able to sustain fighting so many nations at once (albeit losing, they still survived, any nation would've been obliterated), but it's breaking point was against Soviet Russia? They had numbers and Soviet Russia's tactics back then were shitty. It's comparable to a kid in an RTS game spamming and massing their troops, then doing 'Attack Move' on Germany with no conceivable tactics whatsoever. Cause of numbers. If we got into a war with China and they invaded US with masses of soldiers, this would be the results of so many states in America, even if we do win: [img]http://www.vibrationdata.com/Resources/1906.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=MCPeePants;18582147]Military budgets, worldwide. [img]http://www.militarybudget.info/images/WorldwideChart.png[/img] headshotttttt[/QUOTE] this is what makes us better than everyone else

Yeah seeing the replies informed me, it's true that a war in China would be one bloody stalemate. As my Grandpa said to me after his experiences in the Korean War.

[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;18613251]Either Saudi, Bahrain or Abu Dhabi, I've forgot who's richest[/QUOTE] Why do you think that? I don't think even their per capita income is that good.

America owe more money than they have. [editline]06:54AM[/editline] [QUOTE=bobste;18610977]this is what makes us better than everyone else[/QUOTE] This is what makes america 2trillion dollar poorer in 2012

[QUOTE=Turbis2;18613331]America owe more money than they have.[/QUOTE] Not really...

saudi arabia is the richest because of its oil....

The US is something like 12 Trillion in Debt right now (It was 11 trillion the last i checked six month ago, though Obama keeps spending more) Way to go Obama, for Spending more money in Six months than most president combined.

[QUOTE=Gmod_Fan77;18580616]America is a superpower due to it's army's sizes and the nuclear weapons it has. It's rate of production of goods and supplies also makes it a power. However, militarily, America is inferior to several nations, notably China in terms of number and the UK in terms of training.[/QUOTE] Lol, look at all the disagrees. "Noooo, don't say that, our army is the best!"

[QUOTE=Turbis2;18613331]America owe more money than they have. [editline]06:54AM[/editline] This is what makes america 2trillion dollar poorer in 2012[/QUOTE] who cares we're still better than you in every way

We'd be in a lot of trouble of we were on the same landmass as China, but they still have to move that huge army across the ocean.

[QUOTE=Gmod_Fan77;18580639]I think so. Germany's considered an economic "superpower" last time I heard.[/QUOTE] Germany was the richest country in Europ in 2000. I don't know if this changed.

By GDP per capita the richest country in the world is Lichtenstein.

Norway isn't the richest to date, but has the best distribution of the money to the population. :v: We're the country with the fewest poor people. Also, we're like 4th or 5th on the richness scale thing. I recall the US of A was around 13th.

america is the richest and always will be

Suaidi arabia (excuse the spelling) is the richest and America is a super power cos of its mega huge land mass (Seriously if Britain owned as much as America now then fuck knows what would happen) also America has nukes. about the 10 trillion dollar debt, who the fuck started that :D

It's actually Luxembourg. [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)_per_capita]Source[/url] Go by the International Monetary Fund.

In a war I'd say Russia would win becuase all they would have to do is retreat to the east and laugh at anybody trying to cross there frozen waste land freezing the balls od :) Why does America have a massive debt anyways?

[QUOTE=ripsipiirakk;18580594]Hah! America is far from richest. There are some countries ahead.[/QUOTE] dumbshit the list goes: USA Japan China Germany etc...
