Russias dominance was highly over inflated. The assumption was that it had the full and well maintained remnants of Soviet union military might. In reality, 30+ years of corruption, just lying and absolutely minimal if any maintenance at all resulted in everything basically rusting away.

US still has it's military might, it's just being run by an imbecile.

I disagree! It's being run by an entire cabinet, congress and senate of imbeciles.
