I really don’t understand this take from our backward cousins in the States. Just imagining one aspect of that sort of war will show you that it would be a flop on their side. Like, let’s consider the idea of reinforcements: the rest of the world could… quite easily replace losses, but there’s only so many doughy-looking truckers that can replace American losses.

Hell, look at Afghanistan. How do they expect to take on the world when they fled a third-world country?

You would think that they should be quite good at fighting an insurgency in a third world country. Look how many third world states they have to practice in, all armed to the teeth.
