"It might be necessary to be able to run a medium-sized war anywhere on the planet)" I'm genuinely puzzled. Why? Also didn't every single American intervention since Vietnam basically made things worse? Are there successes hidden somewhere?

...but but the arrow of history!
-
also that last bit is quite a gem. If "soft power" counts for nought if it's not backed by "hard power" -- can it actually be called a form of power?
-
is negotiation backed implicitly by the threat of force a separate form of power from actually using the force? dunno, interesting question
-
someone might say, "the point of having access to force is not to have to use it"

this reads like someone whining that they have to pay their own money for their own health insurance just because they're no longer covered by their parent's health insurance even though they live out on their own and are grown adults.
