The new globalism populism (led by Musk, Tucker, Trump, Vance, Bannon and the other fake populists) is disgust with the failures of the Project for the New American Century for it not winning (the main apostle is David Horowitz, read David Horowitz's book titles and content). Not disgust over the crimes of the American Empire. Trump initially supported the Iraq War and as the public turned against it and as it turned in a quagmire, Trump was critical of the US since it became a mess, not because it was immoral.
That is the Faux News victimhood of the American Empire. The peacenik leftists are the "enemies". Bush was a failure so the neocons morphed into Make the American Empire Great Again.

The AI cannot give critical analysis, all the AI can do is copy/paste existing information.
Qwen2.5 experiences "security issue" and disengages once asked about Tibet or Xinging.

According to American perspective.Canadian breakthrough in the Battle of Vimy Ridge in 1917 was a tactical victory at best as it did not translate to success in the (overarching) Nivelle Offensive.
The Catastrophe of the Nivelle Offensive - Aspects of History
the Nivelle Offensive by Alan Bardos is an account of the catastrophic attack in 1917 that cost Britain and France dearly.aspectsofhistory.com
German forces defeated Russian forces on the Eastern Front in a series of battles that were fought in 1914 and 1915. This development made it possible for Germany to handle Allied Powers on the Western Front. German forces reversed many of the gains of the Allied Powers on the Western Front in a countermove known as the German Spring Offensive in 1918. I posted a map that reveals the extent of German military advances on the ground in this operation but you conveniently ignored it. The British and the French were out of options at this stage.
The US-led military operations such as the Battle of St. Mihiel followed by the Meuse-Argonne Offensive in 1918 proved decisive in turning the tide of the war.
The US is not begging for peace in this matter but there is a difference of opinion in the US about how to engage with Russia on a broader level. Trump administration is of the view that Russia is a large country with considerable natural resources and should be treated with respect because of the potential benefits to the US in this rapprochement. Putin desire the same in fact. The ongoing war in Ukraine has certainly taken its toll on Russia on many levels but Trump administration in the US is a twist of fate for Russia.
Let's hear from the mighty Bangladesh about how to fight and win a war. Humans are by nature social beings and seek allies to handle a conflict situation be it on a small scale in the streets or on a large scale in a clash of civilizations. Human civilizations have a lengthy history of putting together a coalition of forces to fight a war and the practice continues in the present. Even in the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia, both countries sought allies. Russia also reached out to Iran, China, and even North Korea for supply of arms and manpower. This is how it is.
Even a cursory look at the global situation is sufficient to find out that the US is a superpower while Bangladesh is a small player even on a regional level.
The British/Canadian victories change the direction of the war, the Americans at best played a "supportive" role.

Well the Afghanistan and Vietnam wars were certainly defeats for USA.
In the Iraq war they did take out Saddam Hussein. So I guess that was a partial victory.
Still now Iraq has democracy, hopefully the Islamic parties will guide Iraq in the right direction now.

Have been to the USA, it is nothing that awe inspiring. Outside the mega cities like NYC, LA, Miami etc it is nothing dissimilar to a DHA for example.

If you have a problem with the accuracy or quality of its answer compared to the accuracy or quality of the answers of other replies posted in this thread then please do elaborate your concerns as they may certainly be valid.
HOWEVER if you can't point out any specific thing it has stated that appears to be incorrect then it serves absolutely no purpose to make a blanket statement dismissing its response as something not even worthy of reading. In fact its insights may be far more worthy of reading than the typical forum member's.

The level of cope and denial is immense. Is this a condition? The US did not wait till the end of WW2, this is false assumption that is repeatedly debunked in several posts in this thread.
War between the US and the Imperial Japanese Empire broke out in 1941. List of battles provided in the following link:
War between the US and European Axis Powers such as Italy and Germany broke out in 1942. List of battles provided in the following link:
List of World War II battles involving the United States - Wikipedia
US-led forces fought and defeated the best of Japanese forces in the Pacific and also defeated the best of German forces in Afro-Eurasia. The US also used its vast air power to bomb Japanese and German cities and industrial capability as these elements define war-fighting capacity.
Soviet Red Army barely managed to control Finland in war:
The human cost of the war was staggering. Approximately 25,000 Finnish civilians and soldiers lost their lives, with 44,000 wounded and 9,500 permanently disabled. On the Soviet side, the true number of casualties is obscured by propaganda, but estimates suggest around 200,000 soldiers died, with another 400,000 wounded. These losses underscore the high price Finland paid for its independence and territorial integrity.

Allied Powers such as the US and the British Empire provided Soviet Red Army equipment in huge amounts to plug its capability gaps in logistics and firepower and enable it to handle German forces on the Eastern Front.

- 107,000 tons of cotton
- 2.7 million tons of petrol products
- 4.5 million tons of food

You put too much stock in casualties as a metric to determine war-fighting capacity of a country but focus should be on reducing casualties. The ability to fight a war is in organization, equipment, logistics, industrial capability, and allies that can be leveraged to provide goods. These elements are necessary to reduce casualties and produce desired battlefield effects.

Allow them their fantasies. That seems to be all they have going for them.

The US have fought bigger and more costly wars in Afro-Eurasia and also in the Pacific and US-led forces managed to reshape political landscape of true regional powers such as Germany and Italy in Europe, Japan in the Pacific, and Iraq in the Middle East. The US have shown considerable capacity to fight a war but the US does not aim to reshape political landscape of every country or seek a decisive outcome in every regional conflict situation. The US can have limited objectives for a regional conflict situation and it is usually an opportunity to test new tools of war in real-time (Theory of Limited War). The US could reshape political landscape of Vietnam and Afghanistan but many in the US opposed this decision because nation-building is a costly enterprise and taxpayer funds are better spent on improving American infrastructure instead.
In the Iraq war they defeated Saddam setup and created democracy. This is victory without resorting to bombing the country back to stone age.

We are talking about the past 40 years and not World War 2, mate.
Yes USA may have defeated Germany, Italy, and Japan.
BUT, USA lost in Vietnam, and in Afghanistan.
In Afghanistan, the Afghan Taliban have come back to power.

individuals differ. For many people it wouldn't make any difference whether they are in small town / big city India or USA as they can simply create the world they want with their resources. That is how the 'encalves' come up (I assume DHA is one such). Irony though is even from such enclaves people clamor to migrate to the US or have their children study and settle there.
To generalize : the poor want to migrate to make a living. the middle class want to migrate to afford a car. The rich want to migrate so they can actually drive their cars.

I might have addressed your response but noticed this statement. You ignore evidence and facts and repeat same lie. This habit goes against common sense and a grave sin as well. Sorry bro, my time is better spent on reasonable members. You need to change your habit first and foremost.

And you repeat the same Americanised revsionist narrative.
Do you honestly believe for a second that the USA would have stood any chance at all against the Nazi Beast if the Soviets had not wrestled it to the ground at a great cost of 25 MILLION dead? Let alone the combined onslaught of the Nazis and the Imperial Japan.
Admit it, Soviet Russia and China, along with the Europeans, paid a huge price to defeat the Nazis and Imperial Japan. If they had decided to take North America instead, the USA would have surrendered within a few weeks or after about 3 to 5 million casualties.
The power that wad beaten back by rice farmers and goat herders would have stood an absolutely zero chance against the beasts like the Nazis.
Just wait till the USA also withdraws from the Middle East before you keep telling us how invincible the KKK land is.
