Historians might come to view the first decade of the 21st century as an exercise in terrible distraction: our overriding concern should have been climate change. But they might also decide that this was the period in which US power was displayed at its most extravagant, reckless and deadly " just before it began to wane.

Please paraphrase the underlined part.

@fansy,

Extravagant: Showy, displayed in an obvious manner
Reckless: Without regard to others
Deadly needs no explanation

"But they might also decide that this was the period in which US military power was continuously on display without regard for the impact on others in terms of loss of life or the effect on world politics " just before it began to wane."
