Which is the most powerful country in the world today?

Folks,

In light of current geopolitical events, I'd like to ask a very simple question, one that the entire world ought to consider, posed above.

Is it -

A. The United States of America

B. The United Kingdom

C. Russia

D. China

E. Some other country (If so, which one?)

I'll leave you with a hint - based on current geopolitical events it appears it's not the country you think it is, and it's not the country that thinks it is the most powerful country in the world. (You see, another country's clout seems to be running it.)

To the wise, I needn't say more (, so I won't.)

Thanks,
Sanjay
