West your history analysis is bit weak. Rome fell -after a long decline- to the barbarians. They were not called barbarians for nothing. They had biggest best weapons.

Germany fell to daylight terrorist bombing. The bombers got the orders to get to the target. "As you see the cathedral you are right on top of it, bomb everything around." I'm not sure if you flew over Germany cities to see what this means.

Japan got two cities hit by the best and biggest weapons and capitulated.

Nowadays, biggest and best weapons resulted of giving rise to terrorism because no one can fight a conventional war. The only way is to go unconventional.

The US military might will fall to the unconventional weapons of terrorism which will become the biggest best weapon.
