How To Lose Wars And Influence People

The United States is ruled by a fanatical death cult

The USA did not win World War Two. The vast majority of casualties occurred on the Eastern Front between the Red Army of the Soviet Union and the German Wehrmacht. It was Hollywood which claimed the war was won by the USA (and not, as was the case, the Russians). Lend lease – far more generous to the USSR than that which bankrupted Britain – was of course a huge help.

The USA has not won a war with a near peer enemy since the 19th century. The Spanish-American war of 1898 ended Spanish imperial claims in the Americas and the Philippines.
