superpower

So I have tried to cultivate a game in which a few superpowers are at least my equals, if not my superiors.

Becoming socially literate for me too has felt and continues to feel almost like a superpower.

The USA is still a superpower, diplomats are still diplomats and it didn't result in a terrorist attack, or worse.

Does MAD still apply, or does the interplanetary superpower suddenly becoming all the more willing to watch the world burn?

In particular, is China, a rising superpower, vulnerable to these forces?

Being able to set everyone's default setting to a selection of your choosing is like a superpower..Changing brand is always an ugly business.

Any rational country does so, if sufficiently powerful to withstand retaliation from the global superpower.

"Russia is a corrupt, autocratic kleptocracy centred on the leadership of Vladimir Putin, in which officials, oligarchs and organised crime are bound together to create a "virtual mafia state", according to leaked secret diplomatic cables that provide a damning American assessment of its erstwhile rival superpower.

Which is to ask, could colonizing other worlds actually accelerate the destruction of human civilization, rather than ensure it?As an alternative to possibly engendering environmental apathy, imagine a scenario akin to the Cold War, except that one of the superpowers has a million citizens on Mars, and the other doesn't.

Hmm, if China was the global superpower and invaded the US, and installed/supported some regional Christian dictatorships... what would happen if a film came along and really rubbed in the humiliation?In the real world, Iran's in our crosshairs, and it turns out that the US and UK overthrew their secular parliamentary democracy, installing the brutal Shah.
