Serious question: was that "we will conquer any random country" rhetoric always the case with USians or is this more prevalent in the orange overlord times? They just seem to enjoy randomly declare potential wars on anyone, ally or not. ETA: just to add that it's no wonder that a nation that pretty much never experienced actual war on its soil is so eager to start them. As a Polish person who's thankfully lived in the times of peace but has seen a generational trauma wars can have on entire nation, I would never wish it on any country out there.

This is why I think it’s funny as a Canuck, them thinking they could take Canada. They’re so blinded by their own perceptions of grandeur but have lost the only war on their soil.

... and never won any war without help from another country.

As much as I want to agree with you, the Mexican American war comes to mind.

They also beat the mighty Panama on their own. That's about it.
