They lost the instant it did not take two weeks.

Now the world sees Russia as another tinpot dictator... erasing thirty years of goodwill.

@amerika @DotardTed Right. And when America wastes two decades on a "war" that means democracy good and totally not tin pot at all.

@hydramacready @amerika @DotardTed Democracy no good? Now no America in Afghanistan. Afghanistan good?

@delei @hydramacready @DotardTed

Democracy does not do well with wars of occupation, although almost no one does.

@amerika @hydramacready @DotardTed What would the Japanese and the Koreans (the Republic of Korea) would say to that? 🤔 And the Germans? All of them were occupied by the US after the WWII.

@delei @hydramacready @DotardTed

South Korea remains free today thanks to that "occupation."

I think West Germany was much nicer than East Germany.

MacArthur rebuilt Japan.

I am not fond of democracy or equality, but I think the US did better after WW2 than after WW1.
