Best gif/debate thrad ever!

It does make it defunct, even if it is a fact. You posted a scenario, and then immediately followed with how it was meaningless...making it defunct.

I didn't say it was meaningless... I simply stated the truth...... That it applies for every country. But that doesn't mean what I said is incorrect.

EVERY country out there is powerful because of its relations with other countries. NO country out there would be what it is today without its support...I don't know why you don't get that. If every country somehow became independent, solely working in the chaos of internal work only... the USA would most likely be on top.

I DO get that every country is where it is because of it's support, although I don't get how you still think the US would come out on top... All they'd really have is the military. A lot of countries have a lot more resources that would allow them to survive on their own. Honestly, what will you do? Blow up a few countries then slowly die?

And that's a horrible analogy. COD and Socom have nothing to do with each other. You're basically comparing the power of the US to that of the Martian Military.

Nah, the point wasn't the actual games... It was the 'difficulty' and how being the best at the harder thing doesn't necessarily mean you're the best at everything.
Same with power, being the most powerful person of the most powerful country, doesn't mean you're the most powerful overall.

Oh yeah, we only have a military...no big deal. I mean, it's only what governs international law...no biggy.

"A lot of countries have a lot more resources that would allow them to survive on their own. Honestly, what will you do? Blow up a few countries then slowly die?"

Lol! Yeah, they'll sit there and use their fuel to drive cars around, and eat their crops...meanwhile we use our military to take it all? C'mon, use your head.

It's obvious I'm not going to be able to convince you that the US president is the most powerful person on the world, so I'd like to ask that you tell me who is.

Having the largest army or most powerful doesn't mean you can take out EVERY other country, unless you plan on nuking them... In that case, there's nothing left for you to take... Which leads me back to the "dying slowly" So yeah, there goes that.

"It's obvious I'm not going to be able to convince you that the US president is the most powerful person on the world, so I'd like to ask that you tell me who is."

No one and everyone.

You make it sound like all the US can do is nuke. Having a powerful military involves much more than nuclear warfare. If the US decided to take over Canada, nukes wouldn't need to be used...same for Mexico. Your land would still be usable...preventing the "slowly dying". Sure, nukes can be used on Russia, China, or some other huge threats...but it's not like the entire world needs to be nuked.

Well that's not what I was trying to make it sound like, but the point still stands... If you're going to start taking over land in such a situation, then you might want to start using nukes, because at that point, it's whoever hits the other first...

And really, if the US were to take over Canada and Mexico, how would you use all that land or even keep control over it?

We're getting into really stupid scenarios now -_-

Right, because I'm sure Canada or Mexico would nuke the US.

The US has expanded from 13 colonies to 50 states (plus multiple territories) just fine...adding a few more wouldn't be a problem. Considering that Texas used to belong to Mexico, Florida to Spain, and many others... it wouldn't be entirely illogical for more to come.

Um... I never said anything about Canada or Mexico nuke the US... So yeah.... Ever hear of China?

And yeah, that expansion didn't happen over night... Not to mention, Canada alone is already larger than the whole US, so have fun?
