The USA has not been a threat to anybody doing anything anywhere in the world.

Once upon a time the "bad guys" around the world had to calculate what the USA would do if they were going to do something some where in the world.

Today the bad guys do what ever they want any where they want as the know there will be no reaction from the USA. Maybe a few words like I dare you to cross this line....no this line....ok this one......never mind!
