> For at least 60 years, USA military has made every situation they've ever touched worse.
This is objectively wrong. Operation unified response in Haiti in 2010, Operation Continuing Promise in the Caribbean and Latin America in 2011. Then Enduring Promise back in Latin America in 2018. Operation Tomodachi after the Japan earthquake in 2011.
Then of course there is the Cold War which lead to the breakup of the Soviet Union and the chance for political self determination of over a dozen countries.
Your convenient 60 year boundary just excludes the Korean War which led to the prosperous and democratic country of South Korea.
- jessaustin 7y agoSure we all like inexpensive and functional durable goods like Hyundai automobiles, but then again that war did kill a fifth of all Koreans. So, maybe not completely a good thing?
- wang_li 7y agoLet me remind you what you claimed: > For at least 60 years, USA military has made every situation they've ever touched worse. It takes an absurd kind of disingenuousness to assert that the actual outcome of the Korean war is worse than the alternative outcome of a unified Korea under the Kim regime.
