Typical myth.

The only thing invincible about American is their media in coaxing fanboy into their hype of American power.

Reasons are:-
1. Huge area with natural resources,
2. Massive Navy
3. Technology
4. Most importantly, USA is placed on perfect location on the Globe. No other power can invade USA. Countries like Canada, Mexico cant imagine to challenge USA economically or militarily.

I agree! A hard working nation... look at how many planes they put out in a year... their assembly lines can put out more than 1000 planes of different kinds in a year, not even on a war footing ... a true industrialized might and power

USA is global power because of the US Dollar and their total control on global financial transactions.

The other reason is geography. USA can fight any nation on their lands while their own land with remain unreachable and safe.

Not yet and might take few decades to raise to that level but it is clear now that world is reshapping into bi polar again just like at the time of USSR ...

China will take time to surpass US (if it will) but it has capability to challenge US interests right now and it is clear indication of a bi-polar world

I agree! A hard working nation... look at how many planes they put out in a year... their assembly lines can put out more than 1000 planes of different kinds in a year, not even on a war footing ... a true industrialized might and power

This is the industry in which they dominate but they are performing really bad in other industries ...

This is the most appropriate reason ... However, China bridging the gap on economic front will challenge that dominance on financial market very soon

USA was the only industrial nation to survive WW2 relatively unscathed. Russia, Germany, and much of Europe were devastated. The British were bankrupt and could no longer sustain an empire, hence their departure from S Asia. The rest of the world was poor and undeveloped. At the end of WW2, USA accounted for like 50% of the worlds GDP...was the only nation with nukes and had a massive military industrial complex. Europe could not feed itself without food from the USA. This how the USA got the worlds reserve currency...and control of the heights of the world economy.

Yes indeed. Just imagine if USA was somewhere in ME, or bordering Afghanistan or in between China and Russia.......

Nonsense. Soviet Union is stronger than ever after WWII. It kick start the space race and US chase behind, only when they landed on moon that they overtake Soviet Union.

If US aircraft carrier won the era of WWII. China missile will rule WWIII. China can strike power station, important infrastructure to force US to stop conventional war against China. If US goes nuclear, US will be wipe out too. So It will be a draw between US and China in conventional warfare.

People here failled to understand that even a draw is actually a loss to USA... USA is no doubtly sole super power as off now with a real challenge from China ... If China succeed in converting current globe into a bipolar world US will no longer be in a position to dictate its ecnomic policies to a lot of people in the world and her trade deficit will decline further ...

u.s end is near,u.s is basically country that is dominated by immigrants that belong to European countries and they have become power due to invasion and occupation of other people countries and u.s also resulted due to occupation of natives who originally belong to this region that is why they are successful as their strategic location is away from their rivals and all countries surrounding u.s are either their allies or countries with weak military power so they are no threat to u.s.Technology in u.s came from europe and they continued its development by proper management but due to decline in civilization of west it seems u.s may not be able to maintain its influence for long time as white population which dominate u.s is in decline

Yes I know but that's not what I am talking about.

US can send troops to foreign countries by using neighboring countries as a staging ground for their forces. Other countries don't have this ability against US, they only have Canada and Mexico as neighbors.
