Right. Because of mutually assured destruction... UNLESS... Unless, of course, someone seized control of all the nukes at the same time (somehow)... And then whoever THAT GUY wanted to LOSE the war... Would be UNABLE TO RETALIATE. WOW! BUT I DON'T KNOW GUYS! THAT SOUNDS VAGUELY ANALOGOUS TO SOMETHING I READ ON URBAN DICTIONARY! UNABLE TO RETALIATE!? Well, then THAT GUY could just choose winners and losers completely arbitrarily, right?
Hym "Superpowers can't win wars against eachother... Unless THAT. Unless that thing I just said. Because then it wouldn't be mutual. Is THAT what Emma mean when she brought up MUTUAL? Why did she bring that up? Is it NOT THAT anymore?"
A phrase used by delusional Indian ultranationalists (aka modi worshipping streetshitters) who think it’s possible to transform their literal third world shithole country into a superpower by 2020. But as we all know, this goal was never reached.

A country which wields such economic or military power, it can dominate any other. The USA and the USSR were two major superpowers until the collapse of the USSR. The USA is now the world's only superpower. However, China is quickly rising to become a superpower, especially with the recent launch into the space race, and the EU has the potential to develop into the world's most powerful superpower. Former superpowers include Britain, Spain, The Roman Empire and France. Nazi Germany and Japan were arguably superpowers during WWII.
