And when it comes to GDP-PPP, meaning what countries produce plus how much the people's money can buy, 
China is #1 and Russia is either #4 or #5.

We can certainly view US CORPS as powerful, but the world has evolved into a multi-polar world,
where clearly the US is losing its grasp on the world as the sole Hegemon.

Again I think the concept as you presented it certainly carries some weight.

I don't doubt Russia and China are powerful. What I am saying is that the US 'appears' to be a country, but it really isn't one. It's a tool.  Yes, it's legally recognized as one; we have borders and a governing body to show for it. But so do corporations. Their border isn't tangible; it's in the form of scopes of power. They also have governing bodies and systems of operand. They rule this land and many other parts of the world. Our government does not govern this land. It only does on paper. Russia , China, and others use us as a tool for their bidding. That's how I see it. 

A snake will shed its skin many times in its life, but it is always the same snake. America, the Vatican, and Britain appear to be these moral and noble countries. They once were a conspicuous empire, then they shed their skin into a new empire, called corporations, a church, and a bank.
