Not wanting to get too "heady" PJ but I think power will be determined by market share and effective foreign policy. Russia, China, and the U.S. are more like big corporations now and the battle is more like a boardroom fight rather then military. Sure, military proficiency is necessary but since M.A.D. (mutually assured destruction) exists between Russia, China, and the U.S. I think diplomacy becomes paramount. How well each country does will decide how "powerful" they are.
Right now, I think the U.S. is on shaky ground with it's foreign policy.
