I would argue that the US has never been a "Military Superpower" other than it's nuclear arsenal. It's historically always been a maritime power, to enforce it's COMMERCIAL (admiralty/maritime) law of commerce agenda as a global economic power (especially after Breton Woods, and then the petro dollar deal with the House of Saud in '73, which ended contractually last year), and this was done using a large naval force to impose it's will, and then it's naval power was augmented in the 20th century with an air force deployed via aircraft carriers. The US army has typically been very small compared to other military powers in history, even in it's major support roles in WW1 and WW2. Of course the other aspect, that circles around to commerce again, is the US has been a large leader in commercial technology during the 20th century, which was a huge part of it's military industrial complex, but that too has erroded and the technoloical playing field globally is a lot more balanced today, and even surpassed in many ways by it's principal rivals, like China and other BRICS nations. The US has NOT really WON any wars since it fought against the CSA in the American war between the States (Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Korea, etc.). As I mentioned before, in both so called "world wars" the US was a supporting cast member, but emerged less unscathed due to it's global location, so it rose to the top and by it's commercial aspirations, was able to get international agreements, like Breton Woods, that catapulted it to economic supremecy, but since it's central bank was monetizing debt, that supremecy was always doomed to collapse and that is what we are witnessing today, which is why it's military might is also waning because it, like all empires, eventually come to an end, and a new powerhouse rises up to take it's place, history is repleat with this cycle of rising and falling empires. The US just doesn't want to accept it, it's still in the early stages of the 5 stages of grief, clinging to the empty notion it's still the global hegemon, and Trump is the perfect boisterous blowhard to help perpetual this American delusion. My only hope is the US collapses in a whimper, rather than going out with "guns blazing" (nukes falling), but that I am afraid is what gamblers call a "push", a 50/50 proposal. So best to hedge your bets because there are a lot of vocal sociopaths and psychopaths running the US "deep state"
Well I think a better scenario is that the USA goes through an orderly downsizing, since its patterned like a corporations. Sell-off its holdings such as military bases and territorial holdings, shed any expensive contractual arrangements such as defense treaties(NATO, AUKUSA), and finally close the door on its foreign intelligence policy(CIA) which creates more problems than it solves. The United Kingdom after the 1944 Bretton-Woods conference has already provided clues on what a targeted and orderly downsizing of global empire looks like. The USA can be a Great Power perhaps. But its superpower and even hyperpower days are long behind it.
The fact with US war attitude is that US fought war after war always on foreign soil, people didn't experience deaths and destruction at home. The politicians drew war plans on paper and will not face any consequences when it failed.
Hollywood and Disney made a lot of movies about superheroes in the last 25 years but in Serbia vs US/NATO they were unable to occupy a single village let alone some town or city, soldiers went in only after peace agreement was signed
I live in the UK, the number of people who would leave this country if they could is a daily conversation for me. What on earth do those political fools in EU think Putin/Russia is going to conquer, massive political dissonance, great plan! It pretty obvious it's the West who'd benefit most in expanding into Eastern Europe.
Western Europe, Northern Europe and Southern Europe are all about sodomites, trannies, African and Moslem invasion, constant attacks on the native indigenous populations in each of these countries etc etc the disease and rott is rather far gone. With this in mind A: What are the native men of these countries supposed to fight and 'defend'? B: Why would Russia even want to _touch_ this disease let alone invade IT? Makes. No. Sense. What. So. Ever. Eastern Europe is still healthy(ier) and IF they had any self preservation they would SHUN western, Northern and Southern Europe, and don't get me started on England. England is DONE for it is gone and the English people are 100% defeated and demoralized, in truth, this holds true for most western, northern and Southern European countries. The more I learn, the more I am beginning to understand that we fought the WRONG enemy 85+ years ago and we are now paying the prize for 'our' stupidity.
Excellent discussion! I tell people not to join as a vet due to limitations on your god given rights. If we had reform to where employment is “at will” i would tell people to join again, i am in the minority but mabye not for long. Why give up your rights people fought for so easily. soldiers deserve at least the right to leave if you disagree with the mission.
Having nuclear weapons just protects your country from invasion by a foreign power, it doesn’t mean you can win in proxy wars or protect your financial or commercial interests abroad. In my view the most important commodity one has as a country is political will to protect your own interests irrespective of the consequences. Successful empires (super powers) worked in that way and prospered but the US seems to want to ‘do the right thing’, in the real world that doesn’t put your country in the best position.
No doubt american military is strong enough to protect their motherland, but it's the projection on USA that is questionable. The essential part of the US army budget is to operate some military bases all around the world and to keep alive an old and pakage of relics from WW2. It worked for 70 years as dissuasion force, but it seems that the industial capacities and the willingness of occidental citizens is not willing to go further on new conflicts that implies peer belligerents. Paper tiger...
It is a naval power. This conversation completely lacks historical grounding. The British empire war a naval power never a military power. They would never a stand a chance in hell to stand up against a continental force. Not even the most powerful British empire would ever hope to take on the weakest French, Prussian, or Russian head on a continental war. Same can be said of Spain. Understanding this puts things in context. In all of human history even great superpowers would have a really hard time taking on a lesser regional power. Even with context. American military prowess has always been myth over facts. In WW1 USA only fought one battle: st. Mihel. All others were US divisions under French army command. In WW2 this becomes clear. The battle of the Bulge is a joke compared to what happen every year in the east. Look at maps of the front lines of the great patriotic war: there are multiple bulges of much bigger area at any time; and they changed every few months. 85% of all German casualties were in the east. Americans only ever played at war. Korea they lost to China. And every other war is a joke. A superpower against the weakest tribes in the far corners. And USA lost all of them! The British suffer humiliating battles like the Zulu, and Sudan. But rarely lost a colony or region. (America was lost because the French were doing an Ukraine. Americans thinking they won the revolutionary war is like Ukrainians saying they defeated Russia all alone in a world we’re things went their way)
@ yes. I do t want to write an essay here. But yes American military naval power is all fucked. Plus we had a Taranto moment. In WW2 there were plenty of signals that traditional surface ships had become useless against air power. We are already way past that point. The e tire American navy is total garbage. Chinese drone carrier ships that can unleash swarms of air, surface, and underwater drones anywhere. That plus supersonic, plus conventional air and naval. Us fleet is looking like WW2 italy vs American pacific carrier fleet 1945
On paper America is the greatest military power ever seen, but three significant losses shows it doesn’t know how to use that power. Those losses weren’t against peer enemies either, they were against poorly armed ( by comparison ) peasant armies. Their strength is mainly in the air and on sea, but when it comes to facing the enemy on land pretty useless
I think you underestimate the US a little. It's not what it once was, it's been defeated in third world countries like Vietnam and Afghanistan but it's still a very potent and destructive power. I think if the US was to move on Iran or North Korea and it got humbled that would probably be a greater indicator of decline.
But would US do that without allies? I doubt it. But even with allies, wars that US has been involved in has ended with defeat rather than a clear victory.
America is definitely still a military superpower Combat experience shows the capabilities of your military it doesn't dictate if you're a power or not
If you’re jumped in the street, are you going to look at one dude and assume he’s the strongest guy because 25 other people fought against one? Better yet, assume the sanctions are like existing injuries, a broken leg and a broken arm, and then they jump you. Or in the case of WW1 and WW2 our enemies were all fighting, exhausted and the US joined in the 4th quarter with the 2 mins warning going off and most of the major fighting had already been done then we take all the glory. Americans will repeat winning all of these wars but don’t actually know anything about the history. Every single conflict has been a rinse and repeat of these debilitated tactics, it’s not superiority or confidence in their American “power”.

You know your military deterrent is working when no one wants to fight you.
That is because they never provoke a real military power.

simple answer NO
The USA 🇺🇸 is on the decline as a military power
Already for multiple decades the Navy and the Air Force are on the decline.
U r right only good Hollywood movies
America can't even compete with Yemen.
America might spend the most but others can manufacture far cheaper and are far more efficient in the process.
