    And on Military and is getting dog walked by a failed state on a global stage. Number one military spend by every metric and they managed to lose the cold war 30 years after it “ended”.

      Correct me if I am wrong but they have also lost every conflict they have been in where they had to be an occupying force. The largest military spending in the world and so far they have failed vs:

      • Korea
      • Vietnam
      • Afghanistan
      • Iran
      • Iraq
      • Niger
      • 1/2 of Russia (the civil war in 1918)
      • Indonesia
      • Laos
      • Cuba (well that one is more on the CIA)
      • Cambodia
      • Somalia

      I am sure I am missing some, but its wild to go though the many many conflicts the us has been involved in.
