Only in your dreams.
Nope I've seen the Pentagon reports the US isn't even capable of defending itself right now.
If you have a look at US spending, while accepting that they pay too much for stuff anyway, they are still miles ahead of anyone else in terms of spending. I think meanwhile posted an accurate account of US military spending the other day. If you want to argue that the US is a lame duck then everyone else cant fly, cant swim and is not even in the pond.
Understand I am not attacking you, I am outlining that your narrative of the US is weak, is exactly what MSM wants you to say, in order to push through even more spending and "aid" to Ukraine, that they will be 100+ years paying pack in loans.
If the US cant "defend" "itself", then my argument would be, defend from what ? who is stupid enough to invade the US, the most warlike nation on the planet ? no one is capable. The US does not get invaded. it invades. thats why its navy is ringed around China. its not back at home worried of invasion.
Western society has benefitted greatly from the big brother that is the US. However by most accounts the US is not great and at the moment it is tearing itself apart with all this culture and ideology wars. Who in their right mind would be capable of harming them more then they are harming themselves? Would be great if we got a reset, a US leader that spent more time fixing America's problems then making world problems.

Nato is being demilitarized. We're updating Russian troops in the use with news toys and combat experience in a real war.
i presume this is sarcasm, i thought Nato countries were increasing their defense spending. I feel i am in the twilight zone at times. I do not envisage any decrease in EU military spending for the rest of the decade, its only going to go one way im afraid.
