    Victories in the Middle East

    I’m honestly not sure what this refers to in recent memory unless you’re talking about the initial battlefield victories, executing Hussein, killing Bin Laden, or dropping MOAB to make ourselves feel better. We fled Afghanistan with our tails between our leg, left a power vacuum in our wake and the people to be ruled by their theocrats. It was godawful and we lost stupendously more than we gained at least in the public sector. Nice agitprop though I guess.

      Yes, Americas tactical battlefield success has inflated and overshadowed the strategic failures.

      I don’t understand why you’re offended. American politicians think the U.S. military can literally do anything at anytime or else they wouldn’t be threatening half the world at once.

      Lol agitprop fuck off bud. Washington been boming the Houthis for years doing fuck all and still making threats like this is the 1960’s.

      Americans are in for a reality check just like the Russian were.
