What will happpen if the US didnt exist tomarrow? Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

What do you think would happen if you woke up tomarrow and the US no longer existed? Here is a list of things I could realistically see happening:

1)Iraq invades at least suadi arabia, kuwait, and israel. Perhaps pther countries too.

2) Israel fghts for its life, without the US over its shoulder it decimates the Palestinians and fights off arab invasion.

3)China would invade Taiwan

4)India and Pakistan would probably go to war, though not immediately.

5)North Korea may invade South Korea

6)Columbia would fall to rebels without US military aid. (let alone destabilization of latin american countries in general)

7)Tremendous economic destabilization throught the world.

This is all the major stuff I could think of that could potentially happen at the moment. I am on my way to bed, but shall be interested at the responses I see tomarrow - I am sure of it.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

8) A devestating drop in the worlds technilogical output. That is major. I cant believe I almost forgot about this.

What will happen ?

1. Canada & Mexico economy will collapse, they are too dependent on US Trades.

2. Japan suddenly becomes the No. 1 nation in the world. And they cannot decide whether to raise their interest rate from the current 0%.

3. All the money in the world flows to China.

4. Palestines celebrate.

5. Israel declares War on Palestine. Palestine stops celebration.

6. Last but not least, I lose my job. I work for an American Company.

- Russia will blackmail everyone with their humongous nuclear arsenal.

- Russia will reclaim its 'lost' territories after the fall of USSR.

- Israel will ethnically cleanse Palestine and nuke all neighboring Arab states, including Irak. They will go on to capture the Persian Gulf oil fields.

- India will finish off Pakistan with nukes and genocides.

- Taiwan will submit to China voluntarily since the US is gone.

- North Korea will attack South Korea, get stopped cold and then backstabbed by China.

- EU and Canada will try to fill in the shoes left open by the US, and will get in trouble with Russia very quickly.

- In one word: all the hell will break loose. Who cares about global warming then?
