Hmm.
Lots of little wee wee’s have won.
The Taliban won last year.
And their predecessors won vs the Soviets.
And the Viets won vs the US.
And... tons of others. Check it out.
Here’s a what-if ... let’s say the US government feared developments in Canada for any reason and invaded to “de-Nazify” the Canadian government. Let’s say that after a year, American troops were holding on to the part of Quebec south of the St Lawrence, had sustained 20,000 casualties, and lost an important naval asset in the Gulf of St Lawrence.
Then could the U.S. government say their “special military operation” was a success?
By the way, that would not be the outcome, we’d be speaking American by last Memorial Day. Oh wait a sec, we already do, almost eh?
