Odd that some Americans still think they are the biggest and bestest country in the world, in everything.

 

 Why do you find the truth so odd? No other country comes even remotely close.

 

Oh, and to that other guy....

I didn't start the aircraft carrier talk, someone else did. But since it was mentioned, you can't be a super power without large carriers. The UK learned that lesson during the Falkland wars.

 

The British won the Falklands war, mantained control of the Islands and caused the Argentinian government to collapse. How does that prove they needed aircraft carriers?

Anyway you are stating your case purely on military terms, yes America is the sole military superpower. It is not, however, the sole economic superpower. Both China and the European Union deserve that label, the EU moreso than the USA.
