Super power means super power to me.
please look up fifth column.
i said it's like a fifth column superpower.
Alice Lyman Miller (Professor of National Security Affairs at the Naval Postgraduate School), defines a superpower as "a country that has the capacity to project dominating power and influence anywhere in the world, and sometimes, in more than one region of the globe at a time, and so may plausibly attain the status of global hegemon."[1]
i agree with the basics of it though nuclear power isn't mentioned.
fifth column;
A fifth column is a group of people who clandestinely undermine a larger group, such as a nation, from within, to the aid of an external enemy.
i think the net is a mixture of these two things.
