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.

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.

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.

Do you think all these charges that have been brought against Trump are just a coincidence? If he was such a big threat why did they wait 3 years to bring these charges? Or is this all just election interference?

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'.
