And the recent attempt against the saudi ambassador to wage warfare by using means that the weaker power has developed against the far more powerful adversary like the United States. America is no longer a superpower as a french analyst claimed it. We are a hyperpower. Nobody can come close to us in our conventional capacity. We have 12 Nuclear Aircraft carriers.
