For me, the sentence "superintelligence will belong to the US", takes a while to parse because it doesn't even type-check.

It means when the superintelligence starts converting people to paperclips, for sentimental reasons the Americans will be the last ones converted.

Of course, unless it conflicts with some more important objective, such as making more paperclips.
