Where are those success you mentionned ? Ukraine proxi war? The global war ~~on~~ of terror ? The vietnam war ? Reality say otherwise.

Let's see. Guatemala. Panama. Libya (ruined one of the most prosperous nations in Africa, terminated plans for pan-arabic currency). I'm sure I'm forgetting many more.

Arguably Ukraine as well. It tanked EU, spiked sales for Yankee weapons, ruined Ukraine and demonised Russia in the eyes of many - most importantly in the eyes of Ukrainians and Russian citizens. You sure about that "reality" bit?
