Overseas territories of the 3 super powers of the world

[SrNair]

Best economy.Ok I agree.But best military I dont think so.

not sure about Russia but I think China is a superpower now...admit it...they have the best economy and one of the best military in the world

Ok .You criteria for Superpower status is DSI.But for rest of the world there is lot more than that.
You are talking about a nation having long history of wars.

彼一时此一时. The US cannot gain territory. It can gain population but its demographics is deteriorating with aging and increase of non Hispanic white. The US does not dare to fight any country.

No one comes close to USA yet as they have 100+ overseas military bases through out the world. Hawaiian Islands to Diego garcia, Afghanistan to Arab countries, Europe to South east asia, they are everywhere.

I agree that Chinese are not close to the US technology and experience of the War...but they are pretty good in that...if they ever came face to face...that will be a great contest...don't you think ?

Military bases are a drag. Russia relies on allies, not military bases.

Following superkid's logic,democratic republic of congo is a super power considering its size,but France isn't one. (too small)

So why would an enemy country provide military base to USA? If they have 100+ overseas bases means they have that much allies too. NATO is a shining example of that.

Because they scared of Russia. They don't care about the US.

Whatever the reason, USA is able to utilise them and have a significant influence over those countries and that is what makes them real super power. As I said no one comes close to them yet.

The US has no influence over any country.

haha Okay. Now go back to your delusional land. I am no fan of many policies of USA but then I have courage to say spade a spade.

Correct, but neither is a super power. Congo cannot make its own military hardware and France is under 700,000 square kilometers.




No one lives there. Any country can claim it.

There is a difference between

Claim

and

Control

No one controls Diaoyu island because no one lives there.

Indeed, there is only 1 super power, and that is superboy

Is that a bird? Is that a plane? Is that a nuisance? No, its superboy, his knowledge alone will make you read it and weep..

One word from his mouth and it will render all his enemy felt to the floor laughing and cant come up for air for quite sometime. So how do this world resist to @Superboy ?

All hail master @Superboy the 22nd century's superpower

US, Russia and China all have to be sweep aside. if that is not superpower, then i dont know what is.
