If I'm doing the math right for every airliner you fly into an American building you get about 6 and half years of democracy? That seems like a decent trade.

I think people mistakenly started thinking America was good at wars after WW2 because propaganda showed that America won that war when it was in fact the soviet union grinding germany to dust and America coming in at the last moment when Germany was already completely hosed to claim all the glory

After that it's just been a long string of incredible, insane, fuckups

I guess it was obvious everything would immediately go to poo poo (well, moreso) when we left and none of the administrations wanted that attributed to them but Biden just doesn't GAF :shrug:

we don't have trouble winning fights, just wars

we'll bring a predator drone to the fight and bomb your whole extended family before you know we're there, no problem. we just haven't figured out how to do that without the survivors all joining the taliban.
