America has so many bases around the world we can conduct a military strike on any nation in minutes. Our technology is so advanced compared to other nations that the best they can do is hope one of our spy helicopters crashes in their country so they can study it. Islamic militants are being killed by drone strikes by the hundreds. They aren't even fighting us anymore, as much as they are fighting each other. People have been preaching doom and gloom for decades, but the fact is America isn't in decline.
For those who wonder about alternative history, here it is: America in decline, Russia and militant Islam on the rise. Sound familiar? We dodged a bullet the first time, but are now gut shot.

The USSR was not on the rise in Carters second term. It's demise was preordained long before Carter took office. This is where the big Conservative myth about how Ronald came in and defeated the Soviets all by himself, when in fact, policies implemented well before his time slowly bled the Soviets dry.

The USSR was on the verge of hegemony over Europe at the end of Carter's term due to its placement of intermediate range nuclear missiles in eastern Europe. This was designed to cow the western European countries into financing oil and gas development in the USSR and entering into long term energy contracts which would guarantee a continuing source of foreign currency to prop up that regime.
Against public opinion in both Europe and the U.S., Reagan announced that we would respond by placing IRBM's in West Germany. The Soviets then backed down and removed theirs, and the Europeans canceled their contracts. More than almost any other factor, this deprivation of foreign capital caused the USSR to bankrupt itself while trying to keep up with our military buidup.
