The US is weaker than it was during the cold war. Weaker economically, militarily, and our leaders seem to me to be less focused on the greater good of the country.
The USSR fell, yes party because of the arms race, but mostly (in my opinion) because of their economic and political structure. A socialistic government works nicely in an utopia but it does not fully take into account the faults in humans.
