| The Age of North America is now. It has been for 20 years now. Deal with it. |

Whats wrong with being Pro-America?
Also I have facts to back this sentiment over. I am also not being condescending to Europe, more to twigs than anybody else. |

| Not really, I'd just say it seems like it is since most of the people here, you know, live in North America. |

| Europe can longer put forth a superpower due to geographical and geopolitical restrictions. |

| They could if they wanted to, but they're kinda too smart to spend trillions of dollars to build up their ego like the US does. |

No not really. Europe has no real access or at least economically sustainable one to the Pacific, Pacific trade has become more valuable now than Atlantic trade so therefore Europe can't produce one. At most they can form minor world powers.
Notice I sad North America. American power will likely at the end of this century. Then another North American nation will succeed. |

| No, at the end of this century it will be Mexico not Canada. Canada might get the 23rd Century though. |

| Panama is also a good canidate for the 23rd Century. It is transcontinental and has access to the two major oceans and controls a very important waterway. But its militarily weak. Which is a problem because being rich and weak is a terrible combination. |

| With trains? Trains are good when your country is large and underpopulated both of which europe is not. Most scientists in europe have had higher education in America therefore your invalid there. If you're reffering to entitlements that claim is misleading. |

| Africa can be used to exploit but not ship and transport goods, the Red sea is very dangerous as is the Gulf of Aden and it is always cheaper to ship than transport by land. We also don't want a Silk Road 2.0. |

| Um, you do realize that Libya got played like a bad pawn for NATO, allowing ARFICOM to set up bases for the first time in a long time in Africa. It also is very quick and easy trips to Sicily and Italy as opposed to Shanghi to SanFran. |

But that would diminish trade with developed nations if you centralize shipping in the Med.
And who has the most troops in NATO and who actually controls AFRICOM? DING DING DING THE UNITED STATES HURR!! So even if Europe uses your suggested Marco Polo route it would still be under the watch of the United States, therefore no real power. |

Are you attacking me or the Europeans/Europhiles?
You can't always base modern presumption as fact. Don't make me pull out the 20 year example.

Spain, Greece, and the Slavic region have dismal economies.
France is just...France.
UK needs to recover from the riots.
Ireland is just poor.
Belarus, and the Balkan States are just TERRIBLE places.
What I am trying to say is, the EU is the only thing that is holding Europe together. Without it, we would be seeing corporate monopolies, possible wars, and poverty. |

| I don't think that middle america will even make a impact in the future economies unless for tourism... You may think mexico will become great, but look at what it has to offer... Sure it has some resources but not that much compared to most nations... It also has a labour force but that is being outmatched as we speak... They are destined to stay average but not a significant economic needity |

>EU is holding Europe together
The EU has caused much of the modern strife in Europe today or least made it worse. |

| I know a hundred years earlier a powerful Mexico is hard to imagine Cowkiller but 100 years a powerful America was to. I really don't want to have give the 20 year example. |

| If I am correct in saying Austria is landlocked than I doubt it will ever have much more and even if it does too many stronger nations have strong interests in the Balkans and Southern europe than Sovereign power there is unlikely. |
