It's been said before but the USA hasn't won a war since the 40s. The fact we THINK we have is a testament to the propaganda machine.

I mean this is very obviously not true; off the top of my head the US extremely clearly won Gulf I, Kosovo, and the Cold War, and we're not even counting the small country wars like Grenada and Panama. And if anything, the U.S. lingers *more* on its failures than most countries.

Iraq 2 was a walkover win as well.

It was a war between the US government and the Iraqi government and only one of those existed by the end of the year.

I am not sure if we can count the Cold war since ...there wasn't any actual conflict (hence 'cold'). Propaganda-wise the USA came out on top, absolutely. I am also a bit skeptical about Gulf1; it clearly helped Kuwait but didn't solve any root issues. Can you clarify a bit?

If the US “won,” the Cold War then why is the President of the US a Russian asset?

Picking on countries that can't fight back and not calling them wars doesn't count as not winning wars

They're wars, just extremely disproportionate and incredibly inhumane wars. But that's probably a distinction w/o a difference when it comes to the USA, tbh
