Such a yankee statement when the only country EVER to invoke article 5 has been the states. Also losing against vietnamese farmers and afghan goat herders doesnt make them look at all competent, maybe even less competent than Russias tactic of throwing meat into a grinder until that grinder fails.

The US hasn't ever fought and won in peer (or even near-peer) conflict in its entire history unaided by their allies. The closest they might've come is in the war of 1812, where they didn't gain any territory and the White House was burned to the ground Could they overwhelm and defeat a smaller country for a short period of time? Almost definitely. Can they actually hold and win territory on a longer timescale? We just need to look at the current governments of Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iran to know how they fair against even moderate powers who aren't willing to stop fighting

To be fair the last truly successful invasion of Afghanistan was 800 years ago. Also the US beat the confederacy without true foreign aid. And the many of the US annexations have been from defeating a smaller country in a short period of time while still holding the territory today (Florida, Texas, Utah, California, Hawaii, American Samoa) Also the goal of Vietnam was never to win territory of the USA. It was to reclaim the region for France while suppressing Russian influence, Granted it failed, but containment of Russian influence worked enough worldwide that the Soviets collapsed.

The confederacy was a civil war? I don't really think you get points for being on the winning side of a civil war given it's sorta impossible not to be (else you'd be talking about the confederate states and how you won the civil war instead) Take a read of this list - [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List\_of\_wars\_involving\_the\_United\_States\_in\_the\_20th\_century](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_the_United_States_in_the_20th_century) \- every single victory is either US/NATO coalition forces, or the US defeating some random state in collaboration with some forces within that state The goal of Vietnam was long-term regime change in the region - the current party in power in Vietnam is still the communist party. The war in Vietnam ended nearly an entire generation before the fall of the USSR... Same shit in Korea - US got their ass kicked by China and Russia, and left a region locked in perpetual conflict and cold war, to this day

Seeing as we managed to keep half of Korea relatively free and that they’re currently the world record for the longest holding armistice I think we did pretty good.

Not sure you could say the US actually won Korea, could you... [as you can see from this Timelapse](https://youtube.com/shorts/fgogDXy4cus?si=f5COUDWkgt6S-PNx) the South Korean forces went from almost extinct to pushing North Korea almost all the way to China. We pretty much did win and it’s only because of the armistice that North Korea’s borders are where they are

No ban on combustion engines? Bruh our power grid could never handle that. Besides one rich douchebag with a private jet will produce more emissions in a month than some old 10mpg v8 will in a lifetime. Honestly to even offset the emissions of building the new electric car you need to drive it for thirty years, which the batteries won't last. It's better for the environment for you to just keep your car till it dies.

I agree with all of this except the last. The US is the single-largest donor, accounting for over 40% of all UN-tracked humanitarian aid in 2024. Now, per-capita they didn't spend nearly as much as some other countries but the framework has been there for a long time to help and continues to exist, but Trump and his political brownshirts are doing as much as they can to interrupt that. I used to volunteer for the Refugee Resettlement program in the U.S. because it was one of the best ways to help some of the folks in my community. That isn't saying that the U.S. hasn't become corrupt as hell or that Republicans or their policies treat refugees well, but we do tend to invest the most money in the world for refugees. Fuck Trump. Fuck MAGA. Fuck anyone that supports them. Help the people that need help.
