We dropped a lot of ordnance on Germany and Japan and they seem to be doing alright.
I suppose South Korea is doing fine as well, so let’s just hope Chinese troops do not flow over their land border with Venezuela.
If we need a more recent and perhaps more relevant comparison point, Operation Just Cause had a successful outcome.
I know it’s trendy and important to mock Iraq and Vietnam but it’s not all a failures.

I think you're under estimating how the world is rapidly updating their views on the US, and the lasting damage to your soft power.
- doom2 10mo agoThat you have to reach back to the 80s for a "good" example says something. Even more recent is Afghanistan, safely back in the hands of the Taliban.
