For the moment, maybe, but we won't be for long.

History depicts all great ‘empires’ fall at one point. I don’t think it’ll change in the future. I just hope for a soft landing for the people.

There is no second thought about it. US has helped several friendly countries and it has backing of all these countries.

Most powerful? It depends, you can’t measure ‘most powerful’ as you would ‘the most tallest’ it isn’t visual. If we all go to war tomorrow who will win? No on, but who will have the most success? Depends how well trained the fighters are. America like a few other countries have a massive population, however if they were all required to fight you’d find that number in terms of quality easily shrinking. War is also based on awareness, intelligence, the ability to outsmart your opponent and that can win over ‘power’. Are America influential on the world? Yes. Of course, look at Iraq, nobody wanted it more than the American Government and it happened.

The country has 50 independant states which form the USA. That's why they have more powerful in the world. They have big territory with abundant resources. Imagine once the USSR is the powerful country and now they are disintegrated into many states. So, the unity makes the US more powerful.
