JD Vance calls UK 'some random country that hasn't fought war in 30 years'

[Godot51]

67. The American Revolution

may have been the last "war" England lost, as opposed to fought. The British took our side in Afghanistan, Iraq 1, and Iraq 2.

The Revolutionary War was a "bush fire" war amidst a long series of wars with France. A sideshow for the British, a "Vietnam" as it were. The wars with France ended in a British victory that eventually helped to ignite the French Revolution.

The war of 1812 was predominantly a loss, or at best a draw, for the U.S., since the infamous Battle of New Orleans was fought after it actually ended, and the British/Canadians captured and burned the American capitol. Negotiations had been set up and the Treaty of Ghent was sign re-establishing the pre-war borders.

Another "bushfire" war as it were, a minor part of the Napolianic Wars which, again, England won in the end.

Since WWII the U.S. has fought to a draw in Korea, withdrawn and lost in Vietnam, withdrawn and lost in Afghanistan, and withdrawn and lost in Iraq.

0-3-1 is not a very impressive record.

The continuing long war verses the Soviet Union/Russia (1946 ~ 2025) is still ongoing but, current events, are pointing to a major loss.

"vance", despite being an "Ivy League Hillbilly" is surprisingly ignorant of all histories. Or, perhaps, unsurprisingly, in today's conservative circle of intelligence.
