We aren't.

China is a superpower.

Basically every NATO nation is a super power.

The European Union is a superpower.

And we are on the fast decline of no longer being a super power.

It is not. I've taken 2 college courses in History and Economics.

I can tell you that there are plenty of world super powers.

China, Most NATO Nations, and the Euro Union, as previously stated.

I'm not trying to bag on the U.S. I fought for the country, I'm just saying.

We may be the biggest superpower, but we are not the only one.

I bet you looked on Wikipedia(there is a section in the super powers about potential super powers)
There's a reason it's not allowed to be used in schools.
Anyway, technically United States isn't the only super power. We are, I guess, the most influential of them all however. Even though we are number one on the list, doesn't mean others aren't. There are plenty of other influential nations.

United States might not be one for much longer, as the above people said, US owes China a lot of money and our economy is declining with a huge debt.

Either way, all of those "potential" superpowers are technically considered super powers in the world.

EDIT:

So by that reasoning, if one thing is listed under a category, that HAS to be the only thing considered that?
Ex:
Google Search "List keys on a keyboard"
The only key shown is t
T is the only key on the keyboard?
What...?

They are technically not, hence potential superpower, but I do not wish to argue about this because the U.S.A. has the best of the best military, so I am not worried about anything.
