    The goal should be no hyperpowers at all. There’s probably a place for at least four superpowers: the US, an EU with more coherent military integration, Russia, and China. If there was more unification in Africa or South America then there might also be the formation of suitable powers there.

    It’s a strength through diversity thing-- we want multiple different styles of government and economy to survive so each one can steal from the others’ playbook. We can’t guarantee that liberal democracy and free markets are the best solution for our next global crisis.

      I’m sorry? You’d like there to be fascist dictatorships to preserve diversity? It’s the correct community for that take at least :D

      China’s geopolitical power is starting to look wobbly, but India is definitely on the rise. I see them being firmly in the “superpower” camp within a few decades, at the latest.

        It’s San Marino. The entire country is mounted on a flip-top like a bathroom trash-can lid, covering an enormous number of missile silos. Why do you think they’ve been left alone for a thousand years.
