Control of key technologies as far as weapon systems and commerce go.

Having the strongest military in the world that can bend reality pretty much any way it wants.

It’s Kind of like when Pulitzer prize journalist Ron Suskind was told by by a George W Bush aide in 2002.

“We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality — judiciously, as you will — we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.”
