No, like military capability. We showed our hand pretty clearly and now rival countries have a better idea what to expect should they enter an armed conflict with us.

Well, the USA showed what happens if they go off half cocked. Or, perhaps, they proved (once again - it surfaced in WWI, and the Blitz, and points thereafter) that the idea that the Air Force alone can conquer a country is false.

The US military is very powerful but if there’s no troops on the ground, it’s just very expensive and deadly fireworks
