The Achilles Heel of America's Imperial power is its Armed Forces. Different is the vision of public opinion that sees them as a bulwark of the country. However, a reference invites us to meditate. When the Soviet Union came to an end, its Armed Forces were very powerful; so powerful that the Empire the USSR was at such time could no longer pay for them. Thirty years later it seems to be the turn of the United States, whose Armed Forces to operate in the great theater of the world that its Administration imposed on itself, require resources that exceed the financial and economic capacity of the Empire that the United States became. It can no longer ignore the imbalance in its public accounts or the urgent reduction of the public debt. Such debt reached critical and very serious levels for a country whose currency is today the most used in international transactions and as a reserve currency by the Central Banks of the world.
