The US's Military Supremacy

Ukraine is showing that the US can't just impose its will if Russia disagrees. Even Iraq you know the consequences of the Iraq war I don't think have been fully digested in terms of the damage that was done to the US ability to protect power. Iran has kind of thumbed its nose at US sanctions on Venezuela they've exchanged technology, made armed escorts to oil shipments and and all kinds of things like this would be considered fairly provocative if the US could simply impose whatever it wanted.
