Perhaps true 20 years ago, today I'm not so sure.
From across the pond, the USA looks like a has been who relies a lot on old merits. The world got bombed to pieces 80 years ago, but has step by step rebuilt itself.
The advantage the US had has been squandered by ineffective leadership.

- myvoiceismypass 2mo agoInvasion seems untenable given the leadership and strategy we are seeing in this giant Iran defeat.
- khriss 2mo agoHmm let's examine how well the US sanctions against China and Russia are working, shall we? Forget those, how well are the vaunted US sanctions working against Iran?
- Gud 2mo agoWhy do you say "no matter what"? It's pretty clear things are going pretty badly for the USA? Last time they went into the Middle East, they steamrolled their enemy in weeks. Now they're running low on ammo, without having accomplished anything of strategic value...
