I don't think most people would contest the 100 years you mentioned.

If we look at the military investments US did since Clinton(so, last 30 years), you'll notice a trend of looking after it's own interests before the ones of the world. An example is the lack of investment in destroyers to patrol the seas, while at the same time the focus shifted to super-carriers which are good for one thing: obliterate a single, powerful country.

This is not just Trump, but everyone after Bush Sr.

There are 78 Arleigh Burkes completed, six in the build stage, and 15 on order.

There were only 31 Spruances and 4 Kidds.

That seems like an investment in destroyers, and much more capable ones than it's predecessors at that. Argubly more capable than even the Ticonderoga.

But maybe you mean something else I'm not groking.
