I don't agree. First of all, I don't think the people in El
Salvador or Nicaragua will be very glad if you win.

Also, I think that a world with only one superpower is very
very dangerous, whether this superpower is the US or the USSR.
I think that such a country would move towards totalitarian
regime very soon, and there would be no-one to oppose it if it
did.
What would you do if the US army said "Well, we'll put the constitution
aside and rule the world for a while"? There is absolutely nothing
you could threaten them with.
