Please include sources for any claims; baseless speculation is counterproductive. Remember that this is not a win for the US, just another outburst of a dying empire.

    Ehhh, what’s more normal is to actually try? Like obviously Vietnam failed, but they tried [understatement i know]. Panama was arguably a success given what the goals were. This time…the goals are simultaneously super specific but also stupid vague

        Doesn’t that also fall under the category of try? Maybe the gulf war could be argued, but they got what they wanted out of it [and the war basically only ended by technicalities. It was more like there was a decade long “truce” where America got to starve Iraqis via sanctions]

        Edit: but I do wanna say that I’m not expecting this to be the end of it. Obviously. I’m more just curious what the original plan was, because i can’t understand what said plan was.
