America has lost multiple wars in the desert and been chased out of Afghanistan. The American military is currently struggling hard with the Houthis, and the proxy war in the Ukraine of all of Nato is going Putin's way. The combined manufacturing might of all of Nato can't beat the "gas station masquerading as a country". Giving all the manufacturing to China and other countries was a huge mistake. Likewise, attempts to break Russia with tariffs failed miserably. Is America even still a global super power at this point?

The people controlling the wars don't want to win them, they want low intensity conflicts forever to keep selling overpriced bombs and manipulating the populace into ignoring domestic issues.
If the US military were told to win a war with the only limit being no nuclear deployment, every opponent we've fought between vietnam and now would have ceased existing as a threat.
