America and its "wars against...."

America hasn't won any war since WWII, and that includes wars against drugs, countries, people, religions, etc. I highly doubt they won this one. I remember "mission accomplished"

armed conflicts

I mean there is an argument that though they lost a lot of battles they did eventually win the cold war.

Yes, Russia became capitalist so

[–] spicehoarder@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Idk, I think Russia might have won..

[–] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 days ago

It's a good joke but American oligarchs are much richer than Russian ones

[–] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Russians did most of the winning in WWII too. What with being on the other side of the ocean and all

sucks that Canadians can't win wars either, eh?

[–] Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

We don't start or lose them either.

[–] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Tell that to generations of First Nations peoples.

[–] Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

On one hand, I'd argue it was the British who started that.

On the other hand, we definitely didn't stop it.

to be fair slaughters are a lot like Pringles

[–] BugleFingers@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's tough to get the last one?

you can't just stop halfway through

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

That's not a war. That's a slaughter.
