Earlier quoted context omitted.

The parent listed Vietnam. The USA lost Vietnam even more soundly than Afghanistan, including almost 50k killed, and 300k wounded. Pol Pot murdered 40% of Cambodia. Saudi almost collapsed with the Grand Mosque. Nothing today comes close to those strains.

> The USA lost Vietnam "We did not lose! It was a tie!"

Sure it was, Otto. The helicopter evac was just convenient.

Middle East a powder keg. If it explodes, my predictions: 1-US get sucked into ground siding with Israel. Versus everyone surrounding Israel. 2- Russia markedly intensity in Ukraine, since U.S. is focused on Israel 3- China invades Taiwan, since U.S. now spread too thin 4- sleeper cells that have entered US via porous border begin to inflict unpredictable attacks on public venues 5- US, too focused on gender politics including Rainbow military, is totally unprepared 6- US economy enters severe recession 7- draft is reinstated 8- Trump? Uncertain if US survives
