      It’s just kind of incredible to watch them continuously taking Ls on every front, but being utterly incapable of taking a step back and doing a bare minimum of introspection.

        It must be the lead and the microplastics because even Britain knew when to say “yeah kept the seat warm for you big dog lemme head out” instead of stubbornly poking the bear and starting shit all over once America yanked the empire off their hands.

          Yeah because the most demonically racist people on earth just shrugged and said “at least they’re white” when America took over (granted, that’s not fully true either, there definitely was a lot of pushback against America in Britain in the inter war period as they tried to isolate the Sterling Area but were unsuccessful)

        They took a W against Hezbollah, W against Syria, will get a W against Iran if nobody else steps in to assist, Ukraine is essentially a draw for them since they never intended to win really just weaken Russia

          Hezbollah is still around last I checked, Syria is not exactly a win either given that it’s incredibly volatile, and now the west will be forced to pour resources into it to keep a pro western regime in power. Ukraine is absolutely not a draw by any metric. Russia has come out of the war far stronger, and the west is now teetering on an economic crash. On top of that, Russia showed that NATO weapons are not superior, that NATO lacks industrial capacity to take on peer competitors, and that you don’t need the West for your economy to thrive. Russia is growing at over 4% right now economically, while the west is in a recession. Finally, there’s now a whole alternative economic system forming entirely outside the west. Calling this a draw is frankly silly.
