If our puppet regime instantly collapses like a house of cards the moment we pull out then the entire effort was pointless and we lost, correct.

Both Vietnam and Afghanistan (arguably Iraq also) were also pointless wars which we lost. How many we killed doesn't negate the fact. This is about real world geo-politics, not a game of Team Deathmatch in Call of Duty.

Tactically/operationally, yes, we burned the shit out of them. All tactical engagements and battles were won by us. We are said to have lost strategically, because we couldn't just sit their and prop up the Saigon regime until the end of time, so we had to leave. Same as with afghanistan, except we never took the northern capital of hanoi. Because we didn't try to occupy it.

We easily routed the taliban, and took the capital city of kabul, and regime changed the taliban governance, within a month, in Nov 2001, achieving tactical victory over them. And we won every major battle. The taliban never took the capital by force. We are said to have lost because we didn't make the puppet government stick.

Yeah? If "Winning" means your country gets so ass pumped full of Agent Orange, that three generations of your children end up born without arms, eyes, and legs, and you have to open up millions of dollars worth of birth defect and care clinics to take care of the mutated nuggets.

Then yeah, sure, let Vietnam be the "winners" then, I guess.

The taliban got steam rolled, and regime changed in one month. Their capital city was taken, and they never took it back by force.

The US "loses", because we are doing something that no other military ever even tries to do, namely, establish logistics that include transporting everything to the other side of the world, killing a good % of the population, and then trying to set up unpopular governments, that just fold the moment we leave. Nobody has ever tactically/operationally beat us. Get real if you think that taliban could beat us in actual warfare. They "won", because they live in afghanistan, and we don't, and we don't colonize the places we blow up any more, and stay there.

Ask russia about their success at regime change of kiev, which was an objective of the 3 day SMO. If you hold the US to the standard of complete success with every objective, be sure to apply the standard everywhere. They haven't achieved ANY of their strategic objectives. And they won't.

So People can claim strategic loses for the US, but they can't claim loses on the other two levels, tactical/operational.

The taliban. We easily defeated them and regime changed them. They never tactically/operationally beat us. Get fucking real.

They never took back the city by force. It would be as if russia steam rolled Ukraine, and took Kyiv, and regime changed zelinsky, owned the city for 20 years. Then hung around and blew the ukrainians up with close air support any time they got uppity, and then split, and then zelinsky slithered back into kiev and took over. Technically, ok, yes, that's a victory for Ukraine, but not in a victory like people usually think of, such as ww2 or something. Where it's a real, peer/near peer conflict, and one side clearly tactically/operationally/strategically wins.

Didn't we leave because Vietnam was ready to turn on Cambodia, China, and the Soviet Union, though? The alternative was to meatgrind hundreds of thousands of Cambodian, Chinese, and Soviet soldiers for another ten years. By leaving, Vietnam ended up killing Khmer Rouge and then repelling a Chinkoid invasion on our behalf.

>>538773574
I mean, this is basically saying Taliban won because we only occupied their country for twenty years instead of, I guess, forever.

This is literally what happened with the Soviet-afghan war, the Soviets lost significantly less than we did in Vietnam and killed two million afghans while holding the major cities and unlike Vietnam they just drove away and their puppet held it until the USSR collapsed. It’s still absolutely a Soviet loss
>>
>>538771171
Considering we literally hand delivered Afghanistan back to the Taliban no exaggeration or spin id chalk that up to a fucking L. And I don’t mean it was the sad result of our pull out, no we negotiated with them directly and said “yup you win we are leaving Congratz bye”. We achieved nothing in that war other than ballooned national debt and military contractor paychecks.

Bro. Vietnam is lousy with McDonald's, Iraq is still very much in our sphere, and the taliban traded in their IEDs for 9 to 5s.
If you want to talk global influence you'd have a better case arguing we lost Europe.
Seriously, why do you tards keep claiming we lost Iraq? It's never been more ours.

>>538773524
Yes. We lost strategically, if you put the standard at having to achieve every strategic goal you set out for. As stated here, by me
>>538772508
>We are said to have lost because we didn't make the puppet government stick.
Just as russia is fated to lose, because they will accomplish none of their stated strategic goals, such as regime changing kiev.

But we never lost in terms of the taliban actually beat us in warfare. That's what most dumbasses think when they look at the situation. As stated here
>>538773008
>They "won", because they live in afghanistan, and we don't, and we don't colonize the places we blow up any more, and stay there.

If the US wanted to, we could still be chilling there in their capital city, and there's not a damn thing the could have done about it. What could they do? It was a GENERALLY low intensity counter insurgency. That's it. It wasn't some near peer war, where they routed the US tactically/operationally or something.

Here. This is what happened if the taliban was doing too well.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Io96sA63Wo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeqZPjuLtlw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHbKl2YJLRQ

The US/coalition won all major battles, such as anaconda and Operation Moshtarak

The taliban had success in a small amount of more high intensity battles/ambushes
>Battle of Wanat
>Battle of Kamdesh
>Operation Red Wings

They were repelled successfully in the first two, and the third was rectified in Operation Whalers.

The RUSSIA afghan war was more high intensity.

The dumbest thing about Agent Orange will always be that it was just an effective herbicide used to kill of vegetation that Vietcong were hiding in and farmland. If used as the manufactures suggested then the odds of it having any long-term negative effects were near zero.
The military higher ups, ever the dipshits, decided to use concentrations of it TWENTY TIMES stronger than the makers advised and were met with sheer disbelief at how retarded that was by the makers.
To let you know how fucking insane this is, there were roughly 400,000 Vietnamese deaths attributed directly to Agent Orange exposure (and way more secondary exposure problems), but, the shit was so toxic at the concentration used there were 300,000 US military deaths directly linked to Agent Orange exposure. To put that into perspective, there was around 58,000 US soldier combat deaths, so the USA killed 5 times their soldiers than the Vietcong did which is some Chinese battle record shit.

americans were bankrupt and rationing gas and food because they were losing to rice farmers so badly and the jews were stealing all of their money

So you tactically/operationally spent billions, killed 58k americans, killed a lot more foreigners whose relatives now hate you and want to kill you. Not to mention, the average american got nothing for it.
Conclusion: I won the Vietnam war. Got everything I wanted.
>>
>>538774986
The USA never rationed gas or food on the home front during the Vietnam war. There was effectively zero changes to overall QoL to people living in the USA during that entire war (excluding draft related disruptions and Ma and Pa civilian having to plant their sons.)

Not from my experience. Been there a few times. The North had more animosity but even then it was barely noticeable. You got to remember, a stupid amount of countries have tried to take over Vietnam throughout its history. Disease, heat, thick jungle, and contaminated water coupled with guerilla ambush tactics being the modus operandi since forever has made Vietnam a REAL BITCH for anybody to take over successfully. China took it over by openly pumping money into every governmental representative though.

>>538774228
The soviet afghan war was way more high intensity, more often. Way more brutal. And way the hell more afghanis died, especially civilians. But yeah, they took the capital city as well. The mujahadeen never took it back by force. The mujahadeen actually won some battles vs the soviets, though. These expeditionary wars are not easy to win.

It's not like a situation such as with Russia and Ukraine, where russia is contiguous with Ukraine. And logistics involve just rolling across the border, or floating a few miles. The US has to actually logistically transport all materiel to the other side of the world. At least russia had a land bridge to iran, with contiguous soviet republics as well.

The point being, it's retarded when people are like
>the US can beat x, y, z, they can't even beat the taliban
It misunderstands what happened. Same with Iran, just not as extreme of an asymmetry. Iran has done very little damage to US materiel/personnel compared to vice versa. IMMENSELY less damage. When you actually closely monitor the targeting and successful strikes, it's not remotely close. Plus, the fact that we are literally banning them from using their own ports, it's really absurd to say they are winning. How, because they are disrupting commercial shipping. Please. And then, when you consider what iran has done to the US homeland, which is absolutely nothing, compared to what we have done to their shit, it's silly to say the US is losing tactically/operationally.

Just a thread full of cope.

The US went to war in Vietnam to prevent South Vietnam from falling into communism

https://youtube.com/shorts/P-o28gMdyDo?is=YYq7GG902qEVx0vK

And the US ultimately failed in its goal.

Everything else is just pure copium.
>>
While the US lost Vietnam it was heavily stacked against the Americans. The Soviet Union and China supported the North Vietnamese a lot. Not just with equipment but training too and thousands of soldiers from these countries were actively stationed inside North Vietnam. the US faced the risk of triggering another Korean War but way worse so could never really invade the North. There are also reports of direct engagements between American and Russian troops on the ground though this was pretty rare.
Additionally the North Vietnamese had a pretty decent regular army due to the Russians and Chinese building them up. Most of the fighting was done by them. The whole "muh rice farmers" meme discredits the competence of the regular army.

>>538772508
>we burned the shit out of them
And it was all for nothing. Doesn't benefit America's geo-political interests, and certainly doesn't benefit American taxpayers in any way. Okay, we killed a lot of people? No one disputes that. But this costs American taxpayers, and it also came at the cost of all those servicemen on our own side who were injured or killed to do it. Do you think telling some crippled Vietnam veteran that they had a higher k/d ratio is going to mean anything to them? A lot of them were conscripted back then because very few agreed with the premise of the war even then, and certainly far fewer now since we got nothing from it. Killing people doesn't gain us anything. It just puts more blood on our hands and makes us more hated. That's all your higher k/d ratio accomplished. Just like when Trump bombed Iranian school children in cold blood.
>>

>retarded
Possibly, but I think its more likely that they were just pure evil and didn't give a fuck. Its not like they were dropping it on themselves. When has any of these warmongering neocon types ever shown even the tiniest shred of empathy or remorse? Remember, Madeline Albright said it was "worth it" when someone brought up the topic of 500,000 Iraqi children that were killed by the sanctions. That's the sort of evil behind all this, anon. They're not retarded. They know what they're doing is wrong, but they do it anyway because they're evil.
