Actually we really are not any more...our military although advanced, isn't massive anymore. Our economy is suffering. We abuse our environment. Our education standards are too low. Laziness has become a standard in this life of luxury.
no, we are far behind and our economy is foreign dependent, primarily on china.
better than ours overall.
it is likely we will fight one, perhaps both eventually. In this event our economy would be energized by revenue of war products and new jobs...but debt and forces would be a problem.
umm...? other countries are our green rock of death right now?

The US is a superpower because of its military strength in all phases--technology-advanced armed forces, weapondry, nuclear arms,11,500 warheads. Also economic power, a democracy, & still a beacon for all to see in terms of freedom for all. The rules of engagement in civil wars or nation building campaigns are subdued. We fight wars with kid gloves on. We could easily wipe out any enemy, if necessary, while at the same time struggle with fighting wars with a certain amount of civility and non-use of "over-kill". Why we don't go in and end wars within an hour's time is beyond me. But we have to be measured and selective in the wars we enter--and with a just cause.

A powerful nation is one that you would not fight because they would whip the hell out of you. It would not be worth it to you to fight-
It has nothing to do with stabilzation of some place, or median income

Our sheer military strength makes us a superpower.
We (America) have a gigantic military far superior to most in the world mainly because a lot of our government expenditures are on Defense and Military.
That's why America is a superpower.

Somehow along the way with lost sense of direction and purpose of life in planet of apes.
