I think that America will continue to be a world superpower because we have the most qualities that make a country a superpower.
In economics though China will overtake us. One reason being that China already has about 500 billion more dollars than us, and their growth rate is at 6.7% per year and the US's being at 1.%. This means that china is already ahead of us and will continue to be. Also in China the average monthly pay is 327 US dollars while in America it is Around 3,400 dollars a month. This means work gets done cheaper in china. In addition China exports about 0.60 billion dollars worth of goods more than America every year.
In military strength however the US takes the lead. Even though China has about 1 million more active military personal than the US we have more equipment. For example we have a Navy of 436 known vessels including 20 carriers and 85 destroyers. While China has a Navy of 749 known vessels, with only 1 carrier and 32 destroyers(the rest being corvettes and frigates which could be easily beaten by a destroyer.) Also The US has about 8,000 more aircraft than China which allows them to provide air support to all situations. In addition America's Military budget is 554.2 billion which allows us to make and create more equipment and technology. China still has a large military budget of 215 billion but that doesn’t allow them to expand as fast as the US does.
In political strength the US wins again. One reason being because America Allies in every continent(except Antarctica)that would help America influence their enemies. China however has little to no support in North America making it hard for them to make an impact there. Another reason is that communist countries tend to fall apart(Soviet Union) due to uprisings and lack of money. Communist countries limit the things their followers can do, and for this reason many countries would never willingly join communist China. America on the other allows more freedom and more countries prefer that. For these reasons I think America is and will continue to be the worlds superpower.

The US bombings on Hiroshima Nagasaki were highly necessary. One reason is because the bombings resulted in much less casualties(185,000) than a projected invasion of Japan(1.7-4 million deaths including Japanese and American lives). Another reason the bombings were necessary is because we needed to show all other opposing countries of our nuclear might, so no one would mess with the US.

I disagree because the US could shoot all of North Korea with missiles within the first minutes of the war, stopping the cannons and everyone there. This approach(involving missiles) would eliminate the threat of jets being shot down by anti-air guns.
The USA should not be worried about North Korea for a variety of reasons. One being that nobody really wants a war, and it could not only cost many American and North Korean lives, but also many innocent South Korean civilians along with militants. Another reason is that Kim-Jon-Un does not really have that much power. If a war were to start North Korea would run out of supplies and men within weeks. Also North Korea has a fraction of the nuclear weapons the US does, and if North Korea shot one the US would shoot it down before it reached its target. The US would also many more allies fighting on their side to destroy North Korea.
