Is this country Russia? . . . No Red China ? . . . No Great Britain ? . . . Wrong Again, USA? . . . Hardly Give up?? Well, don't feel too bad if you are unable to identify this global superpower because this country no longer exists. It has vanished. These are the American military forces that have disappeared since the 1992 election of Bill Clinton and Al Gore. Sleep well, America.
