How do you suck at UMS? Each one is different. Sucking at a specific map, -maybe-, but they're not really too hard to figure out at least : )
Maybe mastering is difficult, but considering many have linear gameplay, it only takes time and then you're the mastaaaaaaah.
False.

Why is the United States of America so powerful? Like many said before me, location. Isolated from Europe we were able to avoid European conflicts and constant warfare which enabled us to developed at an incredible rate from a newly indepandant colony to a major country. Second is natural resources. Continental America was extremely rich in natural resources like ores, timber, and oil which boosted our industrial economy in to what it is today. Europe is small and has been mined, cut down, and drained of resources for hundreds of years and eventually they had to rely on imports, and from whom? us. More money = more power. Third reason, immigration. Immigration increased our population in the late 1800s and early 1900s many folds. The immigration provided cheap labor for industries to grow and created diversity in our population.
In today's world the US has weakened its position in the world greatly. Our massive reliance on oil is crippling our economy and we are living through a pretty bad inflation, the worst since the 70s. Our foreign relations are going poorly, we are failing to tie relations with some of the worlds military powers, like Russia, possible the number two military power in the world in terms of mobility, deliverance, and weapons capabilities (the have the most nuclear, biological, chemical, and other WMDs in the world, USA is obviously number 2, and Russia has one of the better nuke delivery system in the world with a very decent missle defense system).
I feel the downfall of the US will come in a matter of decades, but it can EASILY be prevented but the ways things are going now, we are in a hole thats getting deeper and deeper. I predict an energy crisis by 2050. Our oil is depleting very very quickly, and based on research its going to triple within the next 20 years because of China and India, they are industrializing very quick and in China's case modernize and they can't do that without oil. Currently the US consumes the most at 20 million barrels/day and Japan with China a total of 10 million more b/d. China is developing at greater rates, imagine their 1.5 billion people each with a car or a gas guzzling SUV? Our country will crumble under the energy crisis in 2050 there will be chaos, riots, and a civil war that will tear the country apart and then when each nation has collapse into a another dark age because of no mroe oil, Brazil will laugh at all of us and take over the world. Lol. Brazil is taking steps (since the 90s) in finding alternate fuel sources, they've pioneered ethanol fuel and nearly mastered it. Its a reproducable fuel source and its as powerful as oil. We are too busy spending 400+ billion dollars on Iraq, our national debt is insanely high. Imagine if that money went to finding a cure for cancer? or finding alternate fuel sources? That can't happen now. GG USA your time is almost up, we need to do something about the way this country is going.
My facts and opinions on why USA is so powerful and when our downfall is.
PS: About your WW2 and Russian history/statistics, lawl, do your research more please, I'm a Russian history fanatic, and a WW2 historian (European Front).
Green House Effect saving our lives?
Haha. When the Polar Ice caps melt, sea levels rise. Good bye Parts of New York, pacific islands, florida.
Australia has a big gap in the ozone layer, thats why they have a high skin cancer rate.

I know
80 million russians died? no
USA is so powerful because we are power hungry. And we have on of the bests peice of 'lands' in the world (our continent, we have every resourc, we dont even have to export/import and we will still get by, but we do import/export becuase we are nice)

...
Oil?
140 billion gallons last year?
Lumber, from Canada?
Countless plastic things from China?
Electronics from Japan?
Yea, if countries like the Middle East stop giving us oil period, we'll be screwed over in due time.
Cloning isn't right because if you want to have a kid but your wife doesn't want the 9 months thing it won't have any relation to the dad. So dad would just be someone. I mean you could call him "dad" but he's not your dad.
Actually we could live on other planets we would just need to modify them which apparently America has more fun inventing entertainment than searching for a new planet in case of a disaster.
I hate my step dad because I bring up evolution and he says god made everything. And that NASA tried looking back in time and their was a hole in time and that this dude was in a war and God went right ahead and he choose favorites. I mean sure I belive in God its just that I have unanswered questions that only the real God could answer. I mean God is a religious type of thing. So I can't and can say I belive in God at the same time.
If we invented all these things, we wouldnt need to live in another planet, we can just repair Earth. Im sure we cant live in another planet, its either too hot or too cold.
Crap I never thought about that it would be awsome if we could restore the ozone layer with a click of a button. Freeze the ice caps with a click of another button. And... purify water with a click of another button. But then life wouldn't really be life.
Everything that has been cloned so far lives like 2x times faster, so if you clone some already ephemeral creature, then whatever you plan on doing with it you better do it fast.
False, stop asking that.
The person below me can beat me in melee.
maybe
the person below me can beat me and the person above me at melee

Yeah, I know...I wanted to be the 1337th post...I was crying for hours after I saw crimson's post. I cut myself here and there and then female dogslapped myself for having 56k that didn't refresh the page fast enough.
The person below me thinks that ^ is true
Thats why the world is balanced. People die to make room for other people. But soon there wont be anyone alive.
we can actually live on other planets
its called terraforming
basically it'll take a while (about as much time as it takes us to be able to send many people to mars.. lol), but we will be able to transform mars into another earth-like planet
we melt the polar ice caps to bring back the water to the planet
start planting genetically engineered plants to changed the CO2 to O2
start creating a thicker atmosphere to trap in the heat
it'll be cool
True,
The person below me deserves to be punched.
Probably.
The person below me is a dirty rotten lying theiving raping murderer.
