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?

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

Superpower is such a tad ‘compensatory'.

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.

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

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.

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.
