People seem to forget that the USA LOST the Vietnamese war.
Vietnam also fought China in the 80s. Dunno who won what.
But agreed the USA didn't exactly win in Korea either. It was likely for the reasons of all out war that they stopped.
It seems communist China has won quite a few more minor conflicts. But hardly wars they're directly involved in.
USA technically didn't lose the Vietnam War. It was a bigger narrative for any hippies. The recall. Hell Nixon got reelected by a majority to win that war. But a change of presidency recalled any troops. Possibly citing a loss.
Until history repeats itself. Communism or otherwise reasserting itself. Regionally, China.
Yea the USA lost the Vietnam War by the standards of then and today. If a single conflict cost its majority that was indeed it. Of course it won the Gulf and Iraq. But just recalled from Afghanistan, loss, the narrative certainly lost.
Who was Deng Xiaoping and what were his policies?
Which side has the gibsmedat policies for a class of welfare parasites? It's not China.
Which side has "gay" marriage?
(((Taiwan)))!!
That China hasn't won much, no, almost never in warfare.
Communist China has had quite a few more victories in warfare. Again China as a whole if we're talking China as a whole.
Any war here would be a remarkable victory for China? Going by its record.
The point of debate.
