The final nail in the USSR's coffin was naturally Afghanistan, the "Executioner of Empires". We have truly become that which we hated and feared. Fascinating that this is the case with individuals as well as empires!

The rationale for a globe-straddling military is economic, economic interests, corporate-capitalist interests. It is also because the U.S. intends to increase and strengthen its superiority and dominance over ALL other potential challengers to further these aims.
Far from not coming to terms with the end of the Cold War, its ending revealed that the US promoted a liberal-democratic model strictly to combat a "socialist" (but really a totalitarian) model. With that no longer a concern, the US aim of total world dominance through the spread of a corporate-capitalism that seems not incompatible with authoritarian structures, can now be seen by all.

"And we have vowed that we shall not be governed by a hostile flag of conquest but by a banner of freedom and peace. We have vowed that we shall not see space filled with weapons of mass destruction but with instruments of knowledge and understanding. Yet the vows of this nation can only be fulfilled if we in this nation are first, and therefore we intend to be first."
"For in the final analysis ... our most basic common link is ... that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our childrens' futures and we are all mortal" JFK
