The US Army is known as one of the most powerful in the world. Discover the main reasons that explain why it is so respected and feared globally.

The United States has a long history of military dominance, especially after the end of the Soviet Union in the 90s, where this American power remained even more. Since then, the US has maintained its superpower status, with unmatched military might.

But what makes the US military such a powerful force ahead of its adversaries? In this article, we explore five reasons why you shouldn't mess with the US.

The United States Army

O US Army is much more than a large number of soldiers. It is a force composed of cutting-edge technologies, efficient combat operations and a power projection capability that no other country can match. Its military power is the result of years of strategic investments and technological advances.

Factors that ensure US military power

Several factors contribute to the United States' military superiority, including the dominance of the Air Force, the strength of the Navy, ballistic missiles, and precision weapons. Let's look at how each of these factors contributes to the US military's strength.

Air Force: The U.S. Air Force is the largest and most advanced in the world. With more than 5.300 aircraft, including the F-22 and F-35 stealth fighters, it ensures air superiority in any conflict. In addition, the U.S. has led the development of stealth aircraft, which are virtually invisible to radar.

navy: With 11 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, the U.S. Navy controls the world's oceans. These carriers can carry up to 70 aircraft, projecting unparalleled power. Along with a fleet of cruisers, submarines, and destroyers, the U.S. Navy ensures its presence is felt at any sea.

Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs): The U.S. military has a vast arsenal of ballistic missiles, including more than 400 Minuteman III ICBMs. These missiles have the capability to strike any point on the planet with lethal precision. With advanced reentry systems and multiple-target capabilities, they are some of the most powerful weapons in the U.S. arsenal.

Precision Guided Munitions: Precision-guided munitions (PGMs) have transformed the way wars are fought. Using GPS technology, these weapons hit their targets with pinpoint accuracy. During the Gulf War, they accounted for 75 percent of successful strikes, proving their effectiveness on the battlefield.

Drones: Drones have become an essential part of U.S. military operations. Initially used for surveillance, they have evolved into powerful weapons. The U.S. plans to further increase its inventory of drones, which are ideal for reconnaissance and precision strike missions, with a lower risk to military personnel.

The US military is undoubtedly the most powerful in the world. Its Air Force, Navy, missile arsenal, and use of drones are just some of the factors that make its military strength unmatched.

Any country that dares to challenge the US will have to face an unbeatable military machine. America's dominance in the military field ensures that its superpower status will continue for many years to come.

And is that a reason for them to invade countries around the world? Is it a reason for them to kill millions of people around the world? Is it a reason for them to threaten countries that disagree with their worldview?

Paulo… how ignorant of yet another US worshipper. No one needs to be a communist to disagree with obvious things. It has long been known that the US, especially after WWII, had a strong influence on countless coups d’état and participated directly or indirectly in invasions of other countries. Google “US involvement in regime change”. It’s even on Wikipedia. STUDY IT!

He invaded Granada, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, the Bay of Pigs, Iraq looking for weapons of mass destruction, fake of course, he had nothing, Afghanistan and Vietnam, where he took a beating from Ho Chi Minh's Viet Cong and lost the war, in addition to having stolen half of Mexico's territories to the north, Texas, California, Florida, New Mexico, Colorado and others, using Colt 45s and Winchesters. Just to name the main ones.

The one who invaded the neighboring country and brought tension to the world was Russia. The one who threatens to invade Brazil is Venezuela. It seems that the **** countries are wanting to test this American power.

I do not support the Russian invasion, but on the other hand, did you know that Ukraine had/has a large number of neo-Nazi groups? Especially near the border with Poland? Do you think Russia would do nothing, seeing that practically all the border countries have joined NATO?
PS: Venezuela has no real conditions to invade Brazil.
That's a lot of conspiracy theorist tripping.

Correct. The US has about 750 military bases spread around the world in approximately 80 countries.
Source: David Vine, Professor of Political Anthropology at American University, Washington DC-USA. There is no study that disputes this information.
Other countries with military bases outside their territories are:
The UK has 145.
Russia has between 12 and 36.
China has 1 in Africa.
