Before WWII? A fair number. After WWII? Not as many, always against much weaker foes.

depends how you define win. like accomplish an objective? hard to say since we rarely have a goal

inflicting maximal damage and s-tier body counts? all of them.

Hmmm, we won WW1, and the Gulf War at least

"However, their arrival exposed weaknesses in American tactical doctrine, which was based on pre-1914 principles, a world away from the Combined arms approach used by the French and British in 1918.[179] US commanders were initially slow to accept such ideas, limiting their effectiveness and leading to heavy casualties; it was not until the last month of the war that these failings were rectified."

Doesn't sound like a solid win to me especially since it ended shortly when we joined at the last minute

Gulf War was a war we entered and I guess it was successful per-se, but america poo poo in its own sandbox earlier on and could have avoided the gulf war if we didn't mess around in the Soviet–Afghan War

Honestly what's the point of having a ballistic missile shield if we don't test it?

Nuke Russia, see what they do... and test out the shield. Drop some nukes down on Moscow, you've got a few million dead Russkis. Everyone wins!

so basicaly this is the fye festival of invasions.

i am honestly shocked how they managed to gently caress this up and i am happy at how courageous the Ukrainians are.
:ukraine::ukraine::ukraine:

The Russians have made grievous unforced errors, but they wouldn't necessarily be game-losing if the Ukrainians weren't fighting them tooth and nail. It cannot be understated how loving hard the Ukrainians are fighting.

Give 'em Hell, Zippy :blyat::blyat::blyat::blyat:

For some reason I always imagine the guy quoted in paul_soccer12's post as a man with a 10 year old's head. Dude isn't really any more ignorant than most other D&Ders, but in his case it's in an almost child-like way. Like there's just nothing at all going on up there and all the news is being processed like it's an episode of Blue's Clues

I don't get how people see the stuff this guy is saying and think "hell yeah, a hero!" He just sounds like some sort of over-enthusiastic poster.

I mean, I guess I'm lying here, since I do get it - they just view all this stuff like it's an action movie.

see, russia hasn't really used its air force much, apparently only 75~ aircraft. one wonders why. perhaps they could unleash the air force but they'll be using a lot of dumb bombs which they might not want to do, which indicates the russians are showing a remarkable amount of restraint toward hitting civilians, and way more than the U.S. did in iraq and afghanistan. or they might be holding the bulk of the air force back until they have a good picture of the enemy AA capabilities, or maybe they will wait until large numbers of ukrainian troops are safely kettled and then they can start the bombing

I think someone mentioned a million posts back that they're not using their tankers because they're being used to keep nuclear readiness up, so they can't sustain air operations over a huge amount of Ukraine, but I could be mistaken.
