An example of those wars is Afganistan. Yes, the US managed to destroy the country but could not win the war. Russia also destroyed Ukraine and probably will not win the war.
- robonerd 4y agoI did specify "any conventional military force"; 'winning' an occupation/insurgency is quite another matter, particularly when the 'win conditions' are political rather than military. And doubly true when those political win conditions are poorly defined in the first place. But trust me, defense industry lobbyists are very eager for the US Government to spend even more money to address these shortcomings...
- karaterobot 4y agoThe ability for the U.S. to wage numerous simultaneous wars is about the cold war. It's effectively the basis for NATO's deterrent effect, reducing the number and scale of wars in Europe and Asia compared to the pre-NATO era.
- rosndo 4y ago> the US managed to destroy the country That’s a downright lie.
- foverzar 4y agoDefine "win"?
- poxrud 4y agoMost of Ukraine is not “destroyed”. In fact most of it has not even been attacked.
- khoobid_shoma 4y agoWell, then the same is true for Afganistan. By destroy, I did not mean they have attacked every village.
- agapon 4y agoSo, what do you mean? I am in Ukraine and I do not feel like I am in a destroyed country.
