Can Someone Tell Mitt We Are In A Different World Now, Says Zakaria.?

By AntiVirus Posted in: RISING

Mitt, we are in a different world now.
In 1990, China represented 2% of global gross domestic product. It has quadrupled, to 8%, and it’s rising. By most estimates, China’s economy will become the world’s largest between 2016 and 2018. And this is not simply an economic story. China’s military capacity and reach are also expanding. Beijing’s defense spending is likely to surpass America’s by 2025.
It’s not just China that’s rising. Emerging powers on every continent have achieved political stability and economic growth and are becoming active on the global stage. Twenty years ago Turkey was a fragile democracy, dominated by its army, constantly in need of Western economic bailouts. Today, Turkey has a trillion-dollar economy that grew 6.6% last year. Since April 2009, Turkey has created 3.4 million jobs – that’s more than the entire European Union, Russia and South Africa put together.
Look in this hemisphere: In 1990, Brazil was emerging from decades of dictatorship and was wracked by inflation rates that reached 3,000 percent. Today, Brazil is a stable democracy, steadily growing with foreign-exchange reserves of $350 billion.
I could go on, Mitt. What say you?

    Back in the 90’s it was Japan that was going to surpass us,now it’s China and India will no doubt be next. Yet despite the hysterical screams from you surrender monkeys we’re STILL the only nation on Earth who can fight a major war on the other side of the world by ourselves
