The main goal of this study is to dispel misconceptions about global power dynamics. The article critically examines the widely held belief in a growing multipolar world, maintaining that the United States remains the global superpower. The author conducts an analysis of the key indicators such as economic strength, military capacity, technological innovation, and diplomatic ability, to challenge the multipolarity narrative, and uses both comparative and quantitative methodologies to do so. The findings show that claims of multipolarity distract from the decisive role the United States continues to play in the international system.
