Has Great Britain ever been considered a "hyper-power" like the United States or Russia are currently considered? If not, why?

Has Great Britain ever been considered a "hyper-power" like the United States or Russia are currently considered? If not, why?

We're not a superpower as such, but what we bring to the table can be the deciding factor in winning or losing a battle. Experience.

Anyway no Britain has never been in the class of Hyperpower or Superpower, we dont care to be, we're happy being a sleeping bulldog.

Superpower is such a tad ‘compensatory'.

Why do most atheists in debates with theists take Bible verses out of context much of the time? Are they lying maliciously or do they not understand theology enough to understand the meaning?

No, no, no, no, no. The Brits are happy to sit there surrounded by an invaders nightmare of a sea borne invasion being repelled by submarines you cant hear, cant see, and can blow you apart in a heartbeat.

Of the Brits I know and good friends with, they all chuckle at the ‘Superpower’ thing.
