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"

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

The cold war ended?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yes, Russia became capitalist so

Idk, I think Russia might have won..

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

We don't start or lose them either.

Tell that to generations of First Nations peoples.

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

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

It's tough to get the last one?

you can't just stop halfway through

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

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