In the foreseeable future (5 - 50 yrs), do you think The US will be fine, compromised significantly in some way by foreign power(s), or even conquered? I know the last one seems rather ridiculous, but I just wanna know what you think, considering the hate certain countries have for America and the seemingly apparent prepations of force some countries have been displaying.

I don't think they will be compromised militarily, they will however lose a lot of their economic status. And will likely become more of an equal player. Probably with China, India, the EU, maybe Brazil.
We own more North America than the rest of you guys combined.
Besides, I think we have a chance. Shit, you would never see it coming. I bet it would be 2 days at least before you stopped laughing at the headlines and took it seriously, in that time, we burn down the white house again.
The US will be conquered by the collectivists/facists/libertarians/conservatives/liberals/jews/muslims and the resulting war against them by the true Americans will tragically fracture the nation into a dozen smaller countries.
Or maybe the country just won't recover entirely from this depression and will end American economic predominance in the world. People will cry that it is the end of America but it won't be.
External conquest seems vanishingly unlikely. America is geographically huge, posseses a large up to date military and has plenty of allies.

I meant to quote the one who said we would be ruled by the corporations.
Of course you could have a libertarian police state. Crushing the freedoms of the masses doesn't restrict my freedoms. Individual good over the collectivist good and all.

Nah, America would just cancel the, NHL and then invade Canada while you canucks are still crying.
there would be a worldwide nuclear holocaust before America would ever be conquered and although the country is still reletivaly safe i whole heartedly believe that our soverignty has been comprimised. The USA is a country in turmoil at the moment. when considering that our elected leaders don't seem to want an America based on a free republic, there is no guessing what this country may evolve into over the next couple of decades.

In 5-50 years Europe will be a socialist Super State.
No problem...we'll do business with them. More capital for the US.
UK will be centrist and most likely separate from the European Super State.
No problem...we'll do business with them. More capital for the US.
China...still communist.
No problem...we'll do business with them. More capital for the US.
Canada...Hahaha!! what a joke. Quebec will get their independence...therefore cripple the buffonery idea of Canada's great economy of the state.
No problem...we'll do business with Le Grande Quebec Nationale and with the defuct Canadian nation. We get two big birds for the price of one. More Capital for the US.
Middle East....eh, too easy...More capital for the US.
Mexico and South America....there will be temp permit work visas for their people...Tripple their economy and US as well. More capital for the US.
And finally but not least...the US.
We go back to Reaganomics and we drive big cars and all the idiocy of the left winger will be forgotten and eventually we move forward.
The great Oracle of WD has spoken. So put me down for very VERY Safe in the poll.
