You can say much the same about the US (swap Russia and Africa for South America and Middle East).

Besides, it's the only country that has ever used nuclear weapons on civilians.

All super powers are threatening.

please show me where US * is ruled by a secretive group of old men * produces pollution that threatens the entire world * uses the great firewall to attack tech companies in other countries like github * creates artificial military island near neighboring countries.

And every since Obama took over, our policies with human rights and dictators is much better

* Do you know who the lobbyists in Washington are?

* The US didn't sign the Kyoto Protocol

* Three letters: NSA

* OK, you win on this one

Now you're just pulling stuff out of thin air for arguments sake. Do you hate US that much?

If you're an American, let me ask you this, how are you making this country better?

If you're not an American, let me ask you this, would you prefer a representative democratic superpower or a communist/oligarch superpower?

How can you combine "democratic" and "superpower" in the same sentence?

Also Looking at your comment history...it seems like you hate China a lot

From that list, I only can see the US doing:

* produces pollution that threatens the entire world
