IMO, one of America's biggest weaknesses is people's false bravado towards military threats. Too many keyboard warriors acting like the Pentagon can just push a button and destroy any country it wants with no consequences, and everyone will be home in time to watch Leno.

The "nobody can touch us because we're so powerful" mentality is a dangerous delusion.

Those whom the Gods would destroy they first make all powerful.
Those whom the Gods would destroy they first make proud.
