The USA has become dirt poor fighting all these wars since Dec 7, 1941.

China and Russia are each remarkably formidable in terms of their military strength.

China is the premier infantry power.

Russia is the premier tank and arty power.

Both China and Russia have way more financial and gold reserves than the USA.

Ergo the USA could not fight a conventional war against either of the other two in their backyards.

So who do think the superpowers are now ?!

The number of warm bodies technically in the military is a ridiculous measure of modern military strength. The US is the world's only superpower and the most powerful military power by a million miles.

Most people assume that the USA is the foremost military superpower.

But the actual data will astound you.

President Vladimir Putin said on Friday he accepted the United States was probably still the world's sole superpower and he was ready to work with whoever won the presidency, but didn't want to be told how to live by Americans.
Putin says accepts U.S. is sole superpower, dilutes Trump praise
