I’ll forgive you for not knowing much about American history.

Yep. I agree with your history.

- Indians - More Indians. We just walked in and invaded, took their land, made 'em walk to Oklahoma, sent them to reservations, and all kinds of wonderful moves -- 'cause we could.

-Hitler & Axis. Oh sure. The US did that all alone after we jumped in to save 'em two years late! Forget the other European countries that fought Hitler. And guess what country drove the Germans out of their country and finally entered Berlin to end the war?? It wasn't the US. Wanna guess? And we did that all by ourselves -- no help at all.

-Korea. Yep. We kicked their asses. That's why here we are 75 years after kicking their asses that the country is still divided at the 38th parallel. Yep. That's really winning.

-Iraq & Saddam.There you go again. We invented/lied about WMDs to invade a country that was 80% smaller than we were. Oh look. We killed about a million of them and spent trillions -- FOR WHAT? Where is Iraq today? Yep, they're really close allies -- NOT.

And finally, maybe you should learn a little history. The Romans fought and captured huge swaths of land -- until they didn't. Not to cherry pick, but if you can't see that we've done nothing in the last 60 or so years other than pick on those little bitty countries like Cuba, Panama, Granada, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and more with gusto then you must be blind or dumb.

Please explain how spending ourselves into bankruptcy for all that effort, which has mostly been debacles, has worked out? And you want to send more of our kids to go and fight for this. Well, you go for it. That's not what I want. It's high time we focused on our own and not saving the planet from made-up threats just 'cause we can. Cause we're about to go broke doing it!

Again cherry-picking. The Indians were not slouches when it came to fighting. They’d surely kick your miserable Russian asses.

“And we did that all by ourselves — no help at all.”

Here’s that tired old Soviet lie. Without us you would have lost. Let alone getting into Berlin. The Red Army would have been starving and barefoot. The entire railroad and transportation systems would have collapsed. Maybe you should learn the real history. Also, remember who else sat on the sidelines at the start and actually Hitler. Wasn’t the USA, was your beloved Soviet Union.

“Yep. We kicked their asses. “

We did. We were on the way to liberating the whole country. The peace we got was a political choice, not a military result. We just didn’t want to pay the price to defeat the Chinese.

” We invented/lied about WMDs to invade a country that was 80% smaller than we were. “

Doesn’t matter what the reason is. We did it, twice, and against a military that was armed and trained by guess who? Yes, the Russians. Call them substitute Russians. Another indicator that we can destroy the Russian Army.

“Cause we’re about to go broke doing it!”

What’s this “we” garbage, Mr. Russian? I’m against this stupid war too, but when you come on this forum with your stupid bragging someone is going to nail you.
