Marching from NA through Roman occupied Spain, France, and Italy ain't no joke man. He was wreaking havoc in the Italian countryside for a few years when Rome wouldn't capitulate and finally got driven out after a long campaign. Sure he got BTFO and Carthage got salted to death but it's not like he wasn't an extremely good general.

>>start a war you absolutely can't win(enemies have 2x more people and 2x more resources)
Just because the Romans claim he started it, doesn't mean he did.

>Marching from NA through Roman occupied Spain, France
just stop talking, you don't have basic knowledge on the subject

Did he not land in Spain and go through Gaul and then the Alps?

Rome didn't invade Gaul for another 150 years and Iberia was mostly Controlled by Carthage and its allies, you stupid fuck.

>impling r*mans wouldn't have attaked Carthage sooner or later

You saying by the second Punic War Rome hadn't established colonies throughout the western Mediterranean.

>maybe a few outposts at most
