American Journal: The wars in which the United States is involved are obviously losing
The American magazine Vice published an article analyzing military conflicts in which the United States participated after the victory over Nazi Germany in the 1945 year. The publication notes that all the major post-war campaigns ended with very dismal results for Washington.
In particular, the Korean War actually ended in a draw, the Vietnam conflict brought defeat, the Gulf War had only limited success, and the campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan in general became foreign policy disasters.
“The US has more firepower than any empire in storieshowever, they do not seem to be able to transform this power into something that can be called a victory, ”quotes an excerpt from the article RIA "News".
According to the authors of the material, Washington is engaging in deliberately losing wars, because in reality they are not needed by the United States. None of the conflicts in which the US military has been involved in recent decades has affected the country's key interests.
The publication notes that the American foreign policy elite is trying to hit the whole world with the successes of the American army.
“About every ten years, the United States must choose some miserable small country and smear it against the wall, just to show the world that we are not joking,” said the American journalist and writer John Goldberg.
“If a victory in Vietnam, Iraq or Afghanistan really were important for the security or prosperity of the United States, the electorate would be willing to risk the lives of its children and perhaps pay more taxes. (...) The war, designed to impress the electorate, is doomed to failure. The main reason America is not capable of winning wars is because we are not obliged to do this. Maybe we should stop fighting, ”concluded the magazine.
