Most incompetent superpower in world history.
There's always the last to leave, and they'll always be outnumbered
When you realize the only successful war the Americans waged, was the war the British and Soviets were inevitably going to win anyway.
It's not true. If you're talking about political objectives, that's entirely different from military prowess. And even to assess political success you'd have to be comparing it to the actual goal. Obviously you're not privy to that.
Bravo. This is a common misundertanding. Sowell points out that bureaucrats are not 'incompetent' as people often allege, but that they simply follow the incentives presented to them. This is then claimed to be incompetence by people who think that the bureaucrats should be following their nominal aims rather than the aims for which they are rewarded.
Oh yeah, superior in manpower, oil, economy, industrial capacity, ALL the encryption codes of both Germany and Japan, plus 2 countries, the Brits and Soviets, already engaged in fighting, more ships than anyone on the planet, more planes than Germany and Japan.
Results totally in doubt.
German Aryans gonna turn super saiyan and show off their wunderwaffen UFOs to bomb New York any day now.
Bushido samurai Japanese steel, 50,000 Yamato battleships gonna bombard California tomorrow.
Top fucking kek.
I suppose they won some in the 18th and 19th century. Although I'm getting closer to subscribing to the notion that the US died with the civil war for the most part and all we've seen is a few glimpses since.
WWI, WWII, Phillipines pacification, short little wars like Grenada, Panama, Dominicana, Kosovo... Cold War as a whole.
Pretty sure the North outnumbered and were better led and equipped than the South.
Bigger guy usually wins.
Unless you're Tsarist Russia.
Eh, South Korea turned out alright. I also don't think that the British were going to do much about Japan.
When you lose half the country.
Soviets. FDR would've loved it if Japan got the socialist diet plan.
