Seeing how the Afghanistan war ended I don't think so. The last time the USA properly won a war was when they nuked cities and civilians, whereas China and Russia never went this far. Now given that USA is definitely the more belligerent of the 3, it might happen again.
- throwawaylinux 5y agoUntrue, USA won the Gulf War.
- sam_lowry_ 5y agoDavid against Goliath? IRL, Goliath wins.
- throwawaylinux 5y agoCould you rephrase your question? The parent was suggesting basically that the US is not a Goliath (in expeditionary war).
- sam_lowry_ 5y agoThis was not a question but statement. IRL = In Real Life.
- jakeinspace 5y agoSure, but if the US command had for some reason been psychopathic enough, Afghanistan could have been leveled into a barren desert. Wars of occupation are messy and often inherently unwinnable. But the US can absolutely "output harm" anywhere on earth.
