I hate all this superpower hype. Do we want to become a bully ? The world superpower conjures that image of a hated ugly bully. Small european countries like denmark, Sweden, Finland, Switzerland, and Luxembourg are all rated much higher in most of the health and wealth parameters and quality of life than USA or Russia. These are not 'superpower' but life is better than in so called bully superpowers who are hated world over. So better to have excellant quality of life than all superpower hype.
