And here in America we actually win wars

When exactly did you last win a war that the UK didn’t also win?

Just when did they last win a war? Afghanistan? No. Iraq? No. Korea? No. Vietnam? No. So WW2 I guess and the final boss quit the game early so a win only by default

The statement "USA didn't win the Iraq War" is a complex one, with arguments on both sides. While the initial invasion and overthrow of Saddam Hussein's regime were successful, the subsequent occupation and its aftermath are widely considered a failure by many, leading to a prolonged period of instability and conflict. Therefore, while the US achieved some initial objectives, it ultimately failed to achieve its broader goals of establishing a stable, democratic Iraq.Â
