The superpowers I trust most to least:

  1. European Union

  2. US

  3. India

  4. China

  5. Russia

I live smack in the middle of the US, and I agree with this ranking. EU seems more trustworthy than my own country.

Does a superpower has to be a country or can it be a company too? Can't we for example count Google as a superpower too or is Google under the belt of the US?

Only an entity with that much infighting can never be a superpower (IMHO).

You feel like US has been very, well, united in the last few decades?

Only a super power with that much infighting can be friendly

They are already a superpower, whatever is your opinion about it. But they are not the first for this reason mostly.
