Why can't America win wars anymore?
>>
What wars did they win? Even Iraq is questionable. Sure, they steamrolled Saddam, but it plunged the region into a decade of chaos they could not control.
WW2 against Japan may have been the last one they unequivocally won.

Iraq was never about control, it was about pleasing their master, israel.

>What wars did they win?
base question is here

apart from the hollywood movies they are performing catastrophically in real situations.

Although one may have to ask more generally:
>did anyone win any wars these last 90 years or so?
Not very often. Usually it simply was a shit-show and they agreed to disagree eventually.

But then it's also questionable if such an endeavor could even be considered a war, or whether it can be won conclusively without achieving the ultimate goal of enslaving all the goyim and killing all antisemites.

They won Desert Storm and the invasion of Granada. Last one isn't worth mentioning as it's a tiny island the size of a city. But yeah their track record is pretty bad. They didn't even win here despite air supremacy.

That's because since WW2 every war has violated Clausewitz's basic fundamental of having a clear and achieveable objective.
It got even worse in the 2000s when they decided the American Empire was the final hegemon at the End of History and decided to try and tidy up the map like a Paradox game. End of History thinking also led to offshoring industry and overreliance on super expensive wunderwaffe.
In three words: rampant arrogant whiggery

Although Korea ended up being a war against China, in practice, or got very close to that. The USA definitely came close to winning, after first almostlosing, irrespective of how war crimey the entire thing was.
>just shoot anyone who looks vaguely like a communist
>but sir, what do communists look like?
>uuuh, like skinny gooks..?
>okay sir, we killed 5 of them
>that number is too low, private
>uuuh, actually we saw like 500 skinny gooks and shot at them, but only found 5 bodies
>wew lad so 495 of them were utterly vaporized by bullets? BAZED 500 kills. Keep up the good work.
>yes sir! *blows up random village of skinny gooks and attacks random neighboring countries and empty dirt roads in jungles*
>BAZED, bomb their cities too OH NO OUR PLANES DIED
>>
First world countries can't win wars anymore because of shit like "morals" and "human rights". It was so much easier back in the day when they just killed everyone regardless if they were a soldier or not.
