    Every military had it’s losses. Is America powerless because it couldn’t win the wars in the Middle East? Or on drugs? Or in Vietnam?

    Remember when Putin supplanted the military uprising a couple years ago? I understand where you’re coming from and want to see Russia, as it is, end. But calling for mutually assured destruction is such a poor choice when there are solutions that don’t risk the start of WW3 to explore first.

      Yes. The US military is completely incapable of success abroad. That has been clear for at least 50 years now.

        Incapable of success in a limited war maybe. In a total war with no rules things would be different I think.
