    But the most popular kid in my school is known for having a big dick. Russia political ability is nothing in comparison to what it ounce was, but I will not argue it is still great. I suppose its current diplomatic relations with India is a force to be reckoned with.

    India Land Army:

    Total Land Weapons: 75,191
    Tanks: 5,000
    APCs / IFVs: 3,000
    SPGs: 100
    MLRSs: 292
    Mortars: 5,000
    AT Weapons: 51,799
    AA Weapons: 15,508
    Logistical Vehicles: 70,000

    It doesn't matter. We all know the next superpower is Thailand.

    True, but it's Bela-freaking-rus, i mean, they're one of the last post-soviet dictatorships, and they got a KGB still, they're too badass to take over XD

    Best in terms of what? We are are regarded as the only superpower because no other country can match the influence(politically, militarily and economically) we wield around the world. If we really wanted to shoehorn in another country just so we could call them a super power I'd pick China before Russia.

    Those god damn Siamese bastards... I am not saying a military makes a country a superpower. I am saying it is something required.

    Oh, in every thing, man, 'Murica's the best at sports, power, everything. Vietnam? we just chose to leave. That's the mood most of the people i meet have.

    I'd say it's required to back it up, rather to have the status. And Thailand has the Prostitution requirement.

    Russia still isn't a superpower, and it needs a bigger navy.

    Oh, should of looked at your location, well I live in Pennsylvania. I don't think it's wrong to be proud of your country just some people take it way to far. America still leads the world in many areas and while we have our share of problems, so does everybody(EU is not exactly fantastic right now).

    Hmm well most people I know, both republicans and democrats(albeit for different reasons), are at least somewhat convinced America is collapsing(which I think is stupid), I guess depends on where you live.
