Oh and it also depleted the US' military reserves, cost them a universal healthcare worth of money, and made them look like total dumbasses.

The Americans lost this war so hard it makes my head spin.

The American military only achieves tactical successes, while suffering strategic defeat, which leads to the only war that U.S military ever "wins" ( not that there are winners in wars ) is the one it has with it's defense budget.

That's it's superpower it's military might, it defeats the budget.

It spent 20 years in Afghanistan and when it finally admitted defeat and fled, it left the opposition better armed then when it arrived...

It's also the most successful campaign for de-dollarization, nations are dumping U.S bonds like it's the plague and changing their loans in USD to some other currency.

Nations world wide are also re-thinking their strategic security partnership with the U.S after the U.S could not even defend it's own bases in the Middle East and now after it depleted itself, is seizing nations weapons procurement for themselves...

You lose wars and conflicts when you are led by dumb ass "losers"........

Proactively starting a war is the first sign of a genuine loser

Then, and this is the other big bonus for Republicans: they get to plead debt and cut more social services.

And there's all the market manipulation, too.
