Is the United States the only superpower?

Is it? If so will there ever be another one? And will the U.S. always remain a super power?
 
At the moment, yes.

But as noted China is up and coming.



Nows our chance to form the US/Chinese alliance and start righting the wrongs of the world. We'll leave communism for last 😉

care to explain?

GDP growth is still consistant. Inflation is tamed. Unemployment is pretty steady and low.

Our capital/finance market is the most advance in the world. What more do you want from our economy? A six figure blue collar job?

Yep, those are the ones that think the sky is falling because the jig is up on unions and their destructive nature. GM is going to be a benchmark to watch how they hand the UAW their arse.

 
The USA spends as much on its military as all other nations on the earth combined. The USA has 12 aircraft carriers (no other nation has more than 3) and as many nuclear weapons as any other nation. We have more advanced tanks, planes, and missiles than all but a handful of nations. We can put troops in any country in the world on a few hours/days notice.

Our economy is the largest in the world and still growing. We have the best universities in the world. We have more patents than any country. We have some of the best minds. The primary language of the internet and business world is English.

We are the only hyperpower.

But that said, we cannot defeat the entire world in a military conflict, nor should we assume we will always be in such a powerful position.
