The problem is if war breaks out, the South Koreans are the ones who will die by the hundred thousands and China will bear the brunt of all the refugees resulting from warfare which is why they don't want conflict there.
I'll miss you
No foreign power can challenge America to a military contest and hope to win it. Personally, I think America is going to implode. The domestic violence, the lack of trust in policing, the massive consumption of drugs (I think I read somewhere that the equivalent of the defense budget is flowing into black market drugs-- that's skewing the economy, quite apart from destroying minds and families). America's woe is almost entirely self-made. No doubt America will stagger on for a century at least, but China is the next world power; they just aren't advertising it yet.

Originally posted by @whodeyOh, I forgot to mention the television programming. The Americans put out about one good series per decade (Star Trek, Big Bang, etc.), but otherwise the tv shows coming out of the U.S.A. are inane.
Yes, but other than that it's not so bad.
I'll tell you what I think is going to survive and what America will be remembered for a thousand years hence: music. Blues, jazz, soul, gospel, mo-town, bluegrass, these will endure.
