To me a super power refers to a country that has a strong economy.With plenty of good paying jobs and a low debt ratio per household. What made the US a superpower was the industrial revolution and most of the big inventions of the 20th century.

@rohitb3 Well America has more jobs than any other country in the world. We have the best economy also. All yall wetbags are coming here. USA is the best.......China, rusia and all them other countries are shit holes.

@TheGuOne

Well if only US was the only country to have such a large arsenal of nuclear weapons, then maybe... but it's not the only country. Just sayin'.

Notice how on all other videos people are commenting on how hot she looks... but on this video, the vast majority are fighting about how USA is the best in the world (clearly missing all the points she talked about). I guess there is one way to make Americans think of something else other than sex, provide statistics on how their country is NOT #1 anymore... then watch the di** go limp and the ego swell (evident by the comments and the like/dislike bar as compared to other videos)! :/
