The day US government will be unable to successfully attack a different country every month i would start to argue that they power is collapsing

Attacking a different country every month isn't really a sign of strength.

Militarily the US is very powerful, but its actual influence is on the decline.

They are successfully attacking a different country every month and getting away with it with almost none repercussion. If this is not a sign of strength what else is?

To me it looks like only the public perception of US government is on the decline, most world government are still aligned with US

Not even needing to attack.

They are attacking few countries they have no control of yet

They didn't need to do that before, they could just sanction and ignore them. That stopped working.
