ironic detachment, and egotism.Russia, in WW2, lost 25-30 million people, about one sixth of its population. That would be equal to the US losing 50-60 million people today. All other European countries have known wars that have cost millions of lives. In the Thirty Years War, some one third of the entire German population in the world perished. Whenever a dynasty collapsed in Chinese history, tens of millions of Chinese died. During the century of Mongol attacks, around 100 million Chinese died.America lost almost no men in all its wars except the Civil War, and even that was a mere 600,000 and still a relatively small portion of the population. In order for Americans to come back down to earth and take things seriously and stop thinking and behaving like nihilists, America needs a Big War on its own soil, where at least ten million die but more like 30-60 million die. That would serious our asses up pronto. It would forever crush our egomania and silliness as a nation. We would join the ranks of stern men with gravitas at last.
>>489083547That's because we have the mandate of Heaven. America is the land of the chosen people, not Israel; Americans, not jews.
>>489083744No, it's due to geography, being surrounded by two oceans, a friendly neighbor to the north and a weak neighbor to the south.
>>489083547>Russian Mongoloids did war stupidly and lost 1/6th of their population in stupid human waves or in poorly made tanks that had no considerations for crew survivability in their design>Europeans did war only slightly less stupidlyHave you considered the US is just smarter?We invested in logistics and individual soldier, marine, sailor, and airman suitability. Other WWII powers invested in wonder-waffles or just threw peasants at the issue until the bodies stacked high enough to build a wall.
>>489083547Very true. The reckoning is coming. Still not sure if I want to be here to experience it or escape to eastern europe, southeast asia or latin america and watch it from afar.
>>489083547Sure we have, we lost about 36000 men in Korea while the Chinese lost about a million
>>489083883Maybe the fact that we have the most powerful military in the world and enough nukes to simultaneously flatten all of our enemies idk
>>489083547>America has never known real suffering,>ironic detachment, and egotism.The rest, tl;dr.
this stupid faggot read guns germs and steel and that's it. Read another book retard.
>>489083547>No one will take you seriously if you don't retardedly sacrifice a significant fraction of your populationWell fortunately you'll probably get your wish before too long, shame its only "benefit" is being taken seriously by fellow slaves
>>489083547Skill issue desu
>>489083547>sufferingWe hire people for that.
>>489083547Nigga the entire Russian identity is ironic detachment because of how tragic their history is
>>489083547>America has never known real sufferingBlacks, the worst people in existence, closest thing to actual demons, are in every city and town here. It's also ground zero for the racial antagonism and extermination plot against Europeans/whites, plus feminism, and LGBT perversion and insanity.
>>489083883if it was only geography then the europeans wouldn't have conquered america
>>489083547we suffer more than Russians
My grandfather who grew up in the depression in Texas would say otherwise
>>OP>comparing Chinese dynasty collapse with western warfare>"We would join the ranks of stern men with gravitas at last."Like your average bong or eurofag? Or eastern Europeans who are known for their alcoholism?Is there any nation in current year that has a represented population that is in line with the ubermensch?In both Europe and Canada/United States the ideal man is villainizedOP is a VPN nigger and a faggot as always>>489083985Flee coward.
>>489083547I remember Max Brooks touched on how Americans view war in WWZ:>In totalitarian regimes—communism, fascism, religious fundamentalism—popular support is a given. You can start wars, you can prolong them, you can put anyone in uniform for any length of time without ever having to worry about the slightest political backlash. In a democracy, the polar opposite is true. Public support must be husbanded as a finite national resource. It must be spent wisely, sparingly, and with the greatest return on your investment. America is especially sensitive to war weariness, and nothing brings on a backlash like the perception of defeat. I say “perception” because America is a very all-or-nothing society. We like the big win, the touchdown, the knockout in the first round. We like to know, and for everyone else to know, that our victory wasn’t only uncontested, it was positively devastating. If not…well…look at where we were before the Panic. We didn’t lose the last brushfire conflict, far from it. We actually accomplished a very difficult task with very few resources and under extremely unfavorable circumstances. We won, but the public didn’t see it that way because it wasn’t the blitzkrieg smackdown that our national spirit demanded. Too much time had gone by, too much money had been spent, too many lives had been lost or irrevocably damaged. We’d not only squandered all our public support, we were deeply in the red.

>>489083547I agree, TKD
>>489083547>That would be equal to the US losing 50-60 million people today.Imagine if them all niggers and spics.
>>489083547yeah mutts always treated war like a videogame and now they're doing actual war with actual videogame controllers with drones.Russians always talk about how war is suffering and now their leaders are making their people suffer through this pointless war.irony is full swing
>>489084196>Maybe the fact that we have the most powerful military in the world and enough nukes to simultaneously flatten all of our enemies idkThe US only excels at bombing from the air, which has never been able to win wars.
>>489088184Air power never wins wars. Bombing is continually overestimated by a whole lot of people. This article cites the experience of Germany in WWII, but there is a lot more. North Korea, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia were all bombed more than Nazi Germany, and a lot good it did. Yemen and the Houthis have been bombed to smithereens for 9 years, yet can't be stopped. No air power solution for victory against Iran exists. And on the ground? Iran is a giant natural fortress because of its land features. A total nightmare that would be very costly.
