The global hegemon is mired deeper in more proxy wars than its enemies are. The US just lost a 20 year war against the Taliban, arguably the greatest defeat of an empire at the hands of a guerrilla force. Lol The US hasn’t won a war since WW2.

And this will be unpopular for me to say, but the west needs to get its head out of its ass and realize that if Russia and China decide to waltz through Europe then there is nothing the US can do about it except throw bodies at the enemy.
