What we need downstream is a great power enabled what I call that Sys Admin Force.

While Russia is no longer the superpower it was in the Soviet era, militarily it is still a great power, at least in Europe and Asia.

Europe s Arab interlocutors are unimpressed they want Europe to stop talking like a Great Power and start acting like one.

Outsiders are increasingly convinced that China is a superpower, and that it needs to show that it can be a responsible one.

In a global competition, a superpower s competitors are bound to exploit its weaknesses.

The United States was now an undisputed superpower with no rival.

The current crisis marks an important step in China s evolution as a great economic power.

No great economic power in history has been born without force until now.

As a rising superpower, China should feel confident that time is on its side.

The Soviets had their victory in World War II, followed by the creation of a global superpower.

Russia s desire to reclaim its role as a powerful global player is understandable and legitimate.

The substantial cultural influence of the United Kingdom has led it to be described as a cultural superpower.

But you will remain one of the most important superpowers, and the most hopeful superpower, for the time to be.

Even though it is no longer a global superpower, Russia s vast oil and gas reserves make it an energy superpower, and Putin seems intent on playing that card.

And, after China, India looms as the next emerging coal based industrial superpower.

Regional organizations are still unable to solve regional problems without great power leadership.

Ironically, today s decline in American global power may lead to more effective regional cooperation.

China might itself wish to be a major force in a multi polar world, but has been plagued by its lack of overall strength.

Russia should be treated as a major power, which means consultations on important global issues.

Because Russia claims the status of a world power, it is expected to show restraint and responsibility.

China as a Superpower

They're both maximum points.

We had a large NVA force reported by aircraft

If our swords break, we'll fight with our hands. If we have no strength and are caught, our eyes will pierce the enemies.

Let's say that I have a force (and the unit of force is appropriately called the Newton)

We have 7 times 10 to the fifth over 2 times 10 to the negative 2 times 2.5 times 10 to the ninth.
