"Not from my perspective" WHAT kinda perspective do you have? Do you think North Korea is weaker NOW than when they had 6 less nukes in 2000? Do you think Iran is weaker NOW after Iraq has been put into the hands of Shiites? Do you think Russia is weaker NOW after Putin is well on his way to establishing a fascist government? Do you think China is weaker NOW after year after year of trade surpluses that have allowed them to pile up over a trillion of USD? Our allies have gained "prestige and pride" to their militaries? The last I heard was that our "allies" wanted to put as much space between "them and us" as possible.
