The US doesn't need any other super power to take them down as the US is taking themselves down all by themselves. However, in the event the US is taken down by a foreign nation, it will be Russia and China that do so.
If you look at religious prophecy, the nations from the utmost north, (Russia,) and the nations from the East, (China,) as well as the African nations will all rise up against Israel.
Now, assuming this is correct, Israel's greatest ally is the US. If Russia or China wants to attempt to wipe out Israel, then it would make sense for them to wipe out Israel's greatest and strongest ally first.
As far as a new empire, there has already been talk about a one world gov't and a one world currency. These things will happen in the not so distant future.

@LordShadowfire The Bible, (both the old and new testaments,) prophesies and traces the beginnings of the earth and follows the lineage to Jesus Christ and what the future holds. No other book, written by numerous God inspired authors exists in such depth or historical detail. Other religions, other gods, etc. were all created after the Bible. God does give us free choice as to what we follow.
BTW, archeologists have proven many of the biblical events and miracles of the Bible.

@IM5688 Okay, so if we're calling books evidence, then I've got evidence of Batman, Deadpool, and the Three Musketeers.
Also, you're lying about the age of most of those religions.

we don't need to take them down. we just need to keep them from taking US down
@akindheart I’m not an American. Though there are plenty who can see through the glitter.

@Decapito here is my advice said kindly...i would focus on your politics. i would never ever stick my nose into another country although there are several i can definitely comment on.
@akindheart Your country goes around the globe causing trouble. So it deserves all it gets.

Who's the third one? Surely only China and the US right now correct? Maybe India in the future.

Three superpowers?? Depending if you mean in the DCU or the MCU there’s way more than three 😋
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@Zaphod42 And if it's in the cinematic universe of The Boys, there's definitely more, because pretty much every superpower but one is corrupted and evil.

Play them off against each other and then rebuild from what’s left.

Take over the farm. like in the book animal farm, and we find we have just moved power from one group of people to another, we could all be worse of for our endeavour?
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@Steffanie I think the lesson in Animal Farm wasn't so much that the animals were worse off, but that they just weren't any better off. Orwell was really disappointed in how the USSR turned out.

@LordShadowfire
The way I read it was after the animals took over, the living standards of the non-leaders, the regular working animals gradually become worse than before. There is some improvement in their conditions, as they are free from human control and work for themselves. However, over time, the pigs, who assume leadership roles, start to exploit the other animals.
The pigs, especially Napoleon, consolidate power and become indistinguishable from the human oppressors they overthrew. They manipulate the other animals, reduce their rations, and impose harsher working conditions, all while claiming that things are better than under human rule. In the end, the regular animals are worse off than they were before the revolution, as they are overworked, underfed, and oppressed by the new ruling class of pigs.
I agree I think Orwell observed that the revolution had devolved into an oppressive dictatorship, a new ruling class exploiting the workers just as much as the old capitalist regime had.

The USA is the lethal hegemon. We may not survive. It's totally up to NATO. Any attempt at civilization will enrage the USA and it will kill us all in a heartbeat. BRICS nations just want civilization. They're pushing it. The USA can blow at any time.

Thats the wrong question. The right question is how do we take down the 3 superpowers WITHOUT building a new empire??😷
@whowasthatmaskedman Perhaps fir you.

Figure it out and report back to us.

There is no such thing as "3 superpowers".
As soon as another country matches the military strength of a single superpower, the concept of "superpower" ends.
This is because "superpower" means, more powerful than any contenders.
When 3 countries are equal in that regard, none of them are classified as "superpower" anymore because they are all equal.
