Report: U.S. status in world will keep falling
Washington Post
An intelligence forecast being prepared for the next president on future international risks envisions a steady decline in U.S. dominance in the coming years, as the world is reshaped by globalization and climate change, and destabilized by regional upheavals over shortages of food, water and energy.The report, previewed in a speech by Thomas Fingar, the U.S. intelligence community's top analyst, also concludes that the one key area of continued U.S. superiority -- military power -- will "be the least significant" asset in the increasingly competitive world of the future, because "nobody is going to attack us with massive conventional force."
