Have they won any war with boots on the ground since WW2 when they had the full support of the USSR and the UK, back then the biggest naval power in the world?
I suppose technically the second iraq war counts but that was the absolute textbook definition of a Pyrrhic victory.
The last war the US won was the invasion of Grenada, a tiny Caribbean island.
Do remind me what were their victory conditions.
To me they look like: destabilise the region, sell military tech, build bases, establish puppets, plunder resources, repeat.
Everything else is just marketing
I mean, not in any way proud of it, but we did pretty much level Iraq.
First Iraq war though. Together with the destruction of USSR soon after, it was this win that allowed USA to regain the military prestige they lost in Vietnam and establish its military as the guarantee of USA hegemony thus starting the 30 years of unopposed imperialism. That was a huge win for them unfortunately.
yea that worked wonderfully in Afghanistan
I would argue
is better at planning out aerial strikes than the U.S. Government.
Gonna post this at libs when the first aircraft carrier eats the first hypersonic missile
Millennium Challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
What a way to spend the last five minutes of your life before the globe is engulfed in nuclear fire
I wish to go out as
as possible
Lol, really trying to be an edgy racist with those queue haircuts.
Also, its not saying anything beyond it's better to have planes than not, since American training is full of hazing and abuse too. I'd prefer karate chopping cinder blocks to the whole hell week stuff. also Plaaf training should be similar to USAF since they recruit American veterans to teach dogfighting.
china doesn't have planes apparently
:what-the-hell:
I have no link I'm afraid, I stole this from r/shitliberalssay
applying for a cartoonists job in Vanity Fair of the 1870s apparently
