My entire life I’ve been hearing that America is done, we’re finished like the end of the Roman Empire. This past year has been the first time since maybe 1953 that America reversed its decline and we are going to keep stacking wins at a faster and faster rate.

the year we chose to lose the Korean War. Truman fired/demoted Douglas MacArthur (in 1951) after he suggested dropping nukes to win the war.

Qoute tweto

would a declining power do THIS?!"

gets in a pointless disastrous war of choice due to ego of dying senile ruler

    Greenland doesn’t have a big enough population to stop the USA from seizing it. They would no doubt inflict extremely disproportionate losses if they chose to fight back, but 50k people are not stopping the US military, more’s the pity.

    Edit: also Finland lost the winter war.
