The word superpower is a bit of a joke really. They are the largest single power certainly, however, they are far from powerful whe compared to the Empires of the last century and further down the time line.

It is also worth noting that the so called gap between 1st and 2nd and third and so on is also not as great as the Americans would have us believe.

Whilst as noted they are the largest power at the minute they have only really held that position since the end of Yeltsin's reign and the collapse of the Soviet Union, so we are talking less than 15 years. In the grand scheme of things this is nothing!

I very very much doubt that the US will be the sinlge most dominant forcre in 20 years from now!
