Reagan the EU and China won't need 20 yrs to right pass the US as economic powers. (have they already?) But as long as the US population can be influenced to believe it is normal / a duty / right / destiny to spend 2-4 as much on weapons / defense as the rest of the developed world, the US can claim to have the biggest kick ass army to protect them. If the rest of the world thinks that makes them the most powerful nation is a question. They just move on is my guess.
