I really dislike lemmy.ml and generally like NCD, but I’ll upvote your comment because this post is some nationalist ra ra bullshit and NCD is better than that.
All those tax dollars could’ve given you a better healhcare and more of a functional society. And the middle east might have been better off without funding israel.
Shit take. American healthcare does NOT suffer from a lack of funding. The amount of money isn’t the problem. In fact, we pay more than what free healthcare for all would cost.
Don’t forget Afganistan and Korea! We do so well when we go to places we are not welcome and do not have significant shared cultural ancestry from and try to get someone who likes us in there to run things.
Or fighting, then eventually losing, in major international conflicts with modern weapons, technology, well trained armies, the best intelligence and endless resources against a country full of malnourished farmers and peasants with a stick and an AK47
I mean yeah but Vietnam didn’t go great for the Vietnamese either. “The US is getting involved in your war” is bad even if you win because “dropped more bombs on your tiny Asian country than were dropped in all of WW2 and then gave up and withdrew” is a pretty goddamned Pyrrhic victory.
Agreed … but if your options are death, destruction and subjugation … or fight endlessly until you get anything out of it … it’s a sight to behold how the Vietnamese even still exist today.
A single lifetime might seem insignificant … but in the long run … even empires do fall.
