I keep saying that he isn't looking to annex, he's looking to conquer.
I always thought "annex" had a negative connotation to begin with.
There can be peaceful annexation. East Germany, Newfoundland, Hawaii (debatable), Hong Kong, Alaska and more...
In those cases, both sides (mostly) agreed to the annexation. None were conquered (again, Hawaii is debatable).
Exactly. He calls himself a king. He couldn't beat a child in a game of chess, but like Napoleon he will only taste dust and blood in the end.
They have forgotten as close as they are to us, we are to them.
Washington's ego has been so inflated by her victories in the Middle East she is just as ignorant and stupid as the Russian leadership was to belive they could simply annex a massive country with minimal force.
America is creating a nightmare of her own making on both her borders. Only a fool would simultaneously open two fronts at once, alas....
I'm honestly not sure what this refers to in recent memory unless you're talking about the initial battlefield victories, executing Hussein, killing Bin Laden, or dropping MOAB to make ourselves feel better. We fled Afghanistan with our tails between our leg, left a power vacuum in our wake and the people to be ruled by their theocrats. It was godawful and we lost stupendously more than we gained at least in the public sector. Nice agitprop though I guess.
Yes, Americas tactical battlefield success has inflated and overshadowed the strategic failures.
I don't understand why you're offended. American politicians think the U.S. military can literally do anything at anytime or else they wouldn't be threatening half the world at once.
Lol agitprop fuck off bud. Washington been boming the Houthis for years doing fuck all and still making threats like this is the 1960's.
Americans are in for a reality check just like the Russian were.
Calm down. Agitprop is just what it is, not a value judgement. I'm not offended at all, I just asked a question. The US military is powerful but hasn't won on its own terms in awhile, so I wasn't clear on what you meant.
