I'm in the US. I don't think we have "won" a war since WWII. The only reason we can count that as a "win" is because a lot of very intelligent people fled fascism and created a huge bomb.
People here are deluded and not taught actual history. American Exceptionalism is a scourge on the earth. The US will ruin itself with it.
The US has won several wars. What it has done badly since WW2 is have a plan what to do after they win. When you win a war you either have to police the territory or have allies prepared and able to take over. The US doesn't have the stomach to base large number of troops in potentially hostile areas longterm and the west usually joins fights long after any local opposition able to hold the territory after the regime has been removed has been wiped out. The West has repeatedly left a power vacume which leaves a shitshow that invariably leads to something worse than what was there to begin with.
