The US is unbeaten in losing battles to time. Cold war and war on terrorism has hurt the US the most by far. Radical Islam is alive and kicking, the US is bent over for their government supporters. Russia gained credibility and grew its economy only the wipe the floor with the US and turn its people on themselves.
