It may be that the USA is more popular than it is taken seriously, which happens when you have a country with a lot of money and disastrous spending habits.
I don't know why anyone even takes you seriously. Worst world power ever in history.
In any case, I don't see what we would do militarily against Russia. Are there any nations that would, at this point, agree to allow the USA to drag them into another war? I can't imagine that there would be popular support for sending armed forces abroad after we have spent the last decade complaining that we aren't bringing the troops home quickly enough.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
