    I mean if the US with it’s multi trillion dollar army that couldn’t beat rice farmers and goat herders or win anything really since WWii what’s to be expected? I think the only thing they exist for is to extract tax payer money for the arms manufacturers. If the US military were really capable and effective there would be no war in Ukraine or any country called Russia.

      It never was a question can/can’t and always was is it economically and politically viable to continue $current_war. usa is certainly capable, there seems to be little will to actually fight in a war beyond showing off ‘we are still cool and powerful believe us’.
