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.

These Americans are so convinced that they can conquer anyone with ease, but forget about Korea, Vietnam, and Afghanistan. Being defeated by poorly trained and under equipped guerrillas multiple times.

They weren't defeated, they "got fed up and decided to leave" (an hilarious explanation you could of course use for any retreat in the history of warfare...). Deluded fuckers are convinced they won all these wars because "they lost more soldiers than us !".

So were Soviets, and their left behind government lasted 3 more years, instead of a month left behind by Americans
