The US military peaked in Desert Storm, you know it's true. That was the apex of American military dominance and since then, although capabilities have increased, opposition ones have too.

The Jim Carrey/Private Pyle hybrid is very distracting
>>65019356No. American military superiority is still many fold greater than any three militaries at once. What has been happening is America's unwillingness to just unleash it full force then put boots on the ground in the rubble to clean up.If America was to in 2026 act like the empire it is the entire world would whimper and stop complaining out loud.
>>65019480>If America was to in 2026 act like the empire it is the entire world would whimper and stop complaining out loud.Sure think gramps. Watch out for the Temu drones though lol
>>65019356>opposition ones have too.elaborate.
>>65019480Youre right, except we don't have the boots. 90% of our military is a welfare scam (I was a part of this). At any moment we can probably scrap together 50k frontline fighters. Maybe.Also, the lack of political will do deploy sizable, committed, decisive forces is itself a symptom of a fucked nation. Having 'muh best military ever' is practically meaningless if you cant even use the fucking thing due to an inept, partisan, oligarchical, selfish political elite.
>>65019480>>65019523I've been thinking about this a lot recently. What good is our military if we have effectively zero capacity or spirit to absorb losses?America is too often compared to Rome when it reality it's closer to Carthage in so many aspects.
> Americans used Iraq as a proxy to fight Iran for 8 years> Americans beat up a devastated Iraq a few years later"We're Number One" USA MAGA
>>65019493>ESLWhy should anyone listen to you, turd-stain?
>>65019546Whatifalthist pointed this out, what he concluded is US should embrace their inner cowboy and shutdown the current dominance of political femininity unless you want to end as ineffectual and demographically broken as EU.
>>65019546I'm optimistic this idiotic war will be a beneficial defeat like Vietnam. New weaponry of some cheaper sort. Less focused on blowing shit up overseas and more focused on cheap tools to eliminate the Canadian people.
>>65019364No, the US just lies about it. The Iranians have shot down at least two planes and destroyed more on the ground.
>>65019480>full forceSo you admit you have to resort to nuking everything to win, got it.
>>65020237>Russians use Donbabwe and Luganda as proxies to fight Ukraine for 8 years>Russians lose to a devastated Ukraine a few years laterwhoa I guess its not as easy as all that
>>65019523The only reason we have to currently use our military is to line the pockets of the oligarchical, selfish political elite. Iran is not a threat to us in any capacity; we're inflating away the savings of what used to be middle-class America to benefit a bunch of rich J-words.

Winning Somalia away from the Kremlin is paying big dividends.
>>65019356The Peace Dividend was one of the worst decisions ever.

>>65020249That will do nothing but burn everyone out.
