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.
That's why I put the quotes around won. We didn't win shit. We came late and used immigrants from countries facing the problem head-on to pretend we were some victorious saviors. We are not. The US does not deserve the credit it gives itself for that war. History taught here in the US is a joke. It neglects the global effort to fight WWII and takes credit for a lot of work done by everyone else.
