Why do people on the left say such strange things that have no relation to reality? You think the U.S. military could not handle to "win" a war against Hezbollah or Canada? I see this all over in this thread and throughout HN as if the U.S. is has the weakest military in the world; it's so absurd, it's as if the left has actually gone mad. I would gather that most of HN probably thinks Luxemburg could easily dispense with the U.S. military. To the extent that the U.S. "loses" any war against an insurgency is precisely because it is not as evil as the left believes and is unwilling to do what is in its capability simply to "win". Regardless, the fact that the left takes the idea of the U.S. going to war with Canada because "Trump says things" seriously just shows how far removed from reality and unhinged they are about the current president.
- ipython 2y agoI’m confused so when the president says something I’m supposed to not take it seriously? So when he said he would pardon all J6 defendants, and all his sycophants including his VP said - well of course not the violent ones - we should or should not take him at his word? Is there some sort of magic decoder ring I’m missing?
- Arnt 2y agoThe US military did try against Hezbollah, and after about 300 casualties the US military decided that maybe the goal wasn't worth it. I think the US military absolutely could win, unless winning requires casualties. All the US military needs to win is an enemy that cannot choose where/howto fight. If the enemy chooses a way where fighting involves casualties, the US military will retreat into its bases, send some long-range bombers, maybe make a photo of the president saying "mission accomplished" on an air base, and finally retreat.
