Military dominance requires a lot of money. Without money, it is almost predictable that the current US military dominance won't be sustainable in the long run. The Roman Empire did not fall overnight, but it did fall apart over many years. The best strategy for the US today would be to manage to slow down the process of the decline,a mission still possible at this stage. However, if the fiscal deficit problems remain unsolved and the economy remain anemic due to the fundamental defects of its democratic system, the point of no return can be reached some day down the road. At that time, the advantages of a big melting pot will start to dissipate and all its disadvantages will become magnified. When that happens, the US can still be as relevant as Canada or Mexico in the international relations but its almighty dominance would only be seen in the history books.
