>the usa have more free trade agreement than ever... they are bilateral, you fucking cockswallowing moron. The agreements with Canada and Mexico and Japan and Korea are *bilateral*. Nothing free trade. NATO is shifting focus because the EU is fucking scared of their mind what no international trade will do to them, and they are trying to maintain the status quo as hard as possible. But how are they supposed to do that, with no navy to speak off? At the current pace they're going they will *match* American navy capacity somewhere in the 22nd century.
>more oecd membersShale revolution. All I gotta say. America became energy-independant a couple dozen months ago, and oil prices dropped because China became the only oil consumer to speak of.
>hey become more and more dominant because of cold war 2There is no Big Bad this time. Russia is on the verge of a baby-bust-caused collapse; same as China, which cannot sustain international trade on its own and is, by the way, surrounded by enemies (Korea, Japan, Taiwan) ... they cannot even break out of the first island chain. They're done.
Enjoy it while it lastet; the world of the future is going to look a lot like the late 19th century.
