Can America remain a world superpower and yet be so dependent on borrowed funds?

Canadian-generated hydroelectricity powers roughly half the continental United States. All it would take to turn the US from a Superpower to Little House on the Prairie is the US p*ssing off Canada enough to turn off the juice, thereby shorting out the US national grid. The US cannot exist in its present form without electricity to power the electronics, computers and machinery that modern America is wholly dependent on.

That's how vulnerable the US is when it comes to someone taking away its superpower status. And everything else from air conditioning to refrigeration to traffic lights to ATM machines to cell phone networks to cable TV and everything else that depends on electricity to function. When the US can be defeated without anyone firing a shot in anger, how is that the US being a superpower?

When all its weapons can't defend against something as basic as the electricity going out, how is that super, let alone power? Truth is, the US isn't a superpower. It's just the US deluding itself with nationalistic propaganda.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
