They cannot win, because for "winning" a war you would have to have definite war goals.

The irony of GWB's 'Mission Accomplished' banner was that there wasn't a 'mission' to start with, it was all lies and an excuse to finish what GHWB could not the first time.

I actually have no idea why Afghanistan was invaded, for the volume of media coverage that piece of information was conspicuous in its absence.

The USA has never won a unilateral war. The only wars they have won were the ones where they had a strong coalition of allies. And Israel isn’t strong or a coalition, as it’s basically the same country.

Based on how the confederacy became the GOP and inflicted the 2 party system, I’d say they also lost their civil war.

Not to mention Iran is notoriously difficult to “conquer”, historically, theologically, geologically and militarily. It’s the perfect honey trap to get an overly aggressive and incompetent fascist regime stuck and bleed out.

Do we think that America started the protests via social media or something as well, or just isnt justified in attacking a country killing its own citizens?

Or was it the nuclear bombings that caused economic turmoil, and therefore the protests?

4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
