They really thought it was going to be another Afghanistan -which they ultimately lost-, or Iraq -also effectively lost despite the successful government change-.
They though it going to be like Venezuela. Being like Afghanistan would be to have another forever war
I don’t think the US has won a war since WWII? Korea is technically still a stalemate, they achieved no objectives in Vietnam, and been basically eating differing amounts of shit in West Asia since 1990.
Both Iraqs and Libya were victories, they did reached their true objectives that is to maintain petrodollar and their position in MENA.
damn truth standing in the way of my shitting on the states
they didn’t win wwi, the soviets did.
well yeah, obviously. rip my silly joke, it’s being shat on by reality

if the west weren’t actively trying to sabotage the Soviets, making deals with Nazi Germany and hoping they’d take care of the USSR then things would have gone much better.
Also the aid was fuck all and came extremely late. The Soviets managed to beat Nazi Germany because they rabidly developed their entire industries. They put the most work and lost 27~ million people as a result, but they were the ones to beat the Nazis. Would have gone much better, but you know. The west were allied with the fascists until they were shocked that Nazis would attack white people too.
Shame the west then decided to rescue a lot of high ranking Nazi officials and had them be the founding leaders of NATO and EU. Who decided to enact a “cold war” despite the fact that after such a devastating war, the Soviets had NO reason to ever be aggressive, unlike the west, who could never forgive the USSR for liberating Europe from the Nazis.

Funny you forgot how the entire west allied with the Nazis and made deals with them long before the USSR ever even did. Funny how the land the Soviets “took over” from Poland was originally part of Czechoslovakia/Lithuania/Ukraine
Funny how the USSR tried to make a pact with Western countries to try and stop the Nazis long before WW2 even started. How Winston Churchill sympathized with Hitler and loved his book; Mein Kampf.
More information how much the west allied with the Nazis, to the point of rescuing a bunch of them to have high-ranking positions and cushy lifestyle : https://lemmy.ml/comment/28138093

Tbf they did win the 1990 gulf war. Saddam was defeated and Kuwait liberated by coalition forces.
Yes, Kuwait was indeed liberated during the operations (Desert Storm), but for Saddam to fall it took another 10 years and another war (War on Terror). So half a win I guess?
Grenada?
well, yes, obviously one runs into the problem of what constitutes a US war? Is a single military invasion and possible occupation a war? i just wanna shit on the US Paper Tiger Forces )':
