Maybe in your world, the US is the only superpower(I use capitals for it because it looks like a group of people when I just type us(we)but if you find irony in that, fine, simple people have simple ends). But, plase keep peddling that "US is the only superpower by definition" Im sure china, russia, and few other countries would like you to take your head off the bottom of your back but meh...

The US the only superpower...
The United States is capable of fighting three simultaneous wars spread out across the globe. In fact, in the past ten years alone it overthrew the Afghan government and destroyed Iraq. Neither of these states is even in the same hemisphere as America. Russia beat up on tiny Georgia, one of its nearest neighbors. Which sounds more like a superpower to you?

Its good to see you show your real colors, not that anyone had doubts but...
At least we can agree, the US illegally toppled the democratically elected leaders of many countries. See thats a step forward, now lets see if we can erradicate a bit more of the ignorance.

You fail to understand that maintaining a global empire requires maintaining logistics. The USA very foundation rests on sustaining economic growth. It is already clear that disparity is grossly expanded inside of the US. In order to maintain such a massive military, the American people pay the price. How long will this last? Will the American police state keep expanding unabated to public unrest when "democracy" unveils itself as hegemonial imperialism?
It won't last. And besides, the doctrine of military power as global primacy is an obsolete discourse. The modern doctrine dictates that nations who control the accumulation, production and distribution of resources as the primary objective for global primacy. In fact, a large military is counter-intuitive to this very concept.

Saddam Hussein was not a democratically elected leader. But at least we agree that Russia is not even in the same league as the United States.

No that is not necessarily true now. Deals to produce and export resources are not conducted under military dominance, but typically under neoliberal entanglement.
