US lost in Vietnam and Korea but don't want to admit it. Let's just call a spade a spade and admit military powers all suck.
Bit of a difference there. We'll literally had to travel to the jungle.
Still lost? But a comparable country for us to invade would be Canada or Mexico.
That's true and very fair, but also you did try to invade Canada and failed so badly they burned down the white house.
Yeah! Now we're shitting on the US properly
But that also predates the US being a military hegemony sooo…
How boot not, eh?
So give it a couple months and we find out?
And Afghanistan
I dunno, if you look at the track record, Afghanistan is a pretty impressive military power. They defeated the US, Russia, Britain...
Yeah but same for Vietnam. Both are a nightmare to invade but rarely pick fights
Who didnt?
Losing a trade war right now.
I think the drugs won the war on drugs too
