>what is clusters last stand

>Officially we won Vietnam war and that's it, no more question on why we had to fund Pol Pot or put an embargo on the 'loser' country

>what is the war of 1812

I don't think America became British again

Pretty sure that counts as a stalemate

>what is basic definition of battle and war

That wasn't what the war was fought over
>America declares war and launches three invasions of Canada
>All three fail, British army arrives and burns down the capital city.
>"Y-yeah guys it was totally a stalemate"

>two warring countries agree to call it a stalemate
>200 years later fatass virgin neckbeards argue that the diplomats of these two countries were, in fact, lying, and that country B actually raped the shit out of country A

>America launches agressive war
>Gets btfo'd
>Agrees to keep things the way they were before the war making it entirely pointless

Vietnam War?

We lost but on paper there was peace when we left. Officially not lost bu t if you think about it for 2 seconds it's a loss

Also not technically a war.

>"Gets btfo'd" he claims
>mighty British Empire losing to

I really don't remember London or any English city being attacked

America confirmed winner of the Vietnam War

no English city is worth attacking it'd be a massive waste of resources

mutts defend their poor showings since ww2 and a failed offensive war on canada

yum, authentic english salt

He's simply moving the goal post. One's military doesn't need to surrender in order for them to lose the war. Blah blah blah war is the continuation of politics by others means blah blah blah.

He's just a nationalist who can't admit defeat.

>unironically thinks brits are the only ones who hates american imperialism
user, most of the world holds this view.....

>being an American nationalist is bad
Why do you hate America?

If you look at polls, America is actually widely liked in the developing world, even the countries we fucked relentlessly.

We're better liked in Vietnam than in France, despite the fact that we absolutely wrecked Vietnam and we liberated France from Nazis.

We're better liked in the Philippines than in the UK, despite the fact that we entered world wars on Britain's side twice, and we invaded the Philippines and put everyone in camps.

Anti-American sentiment is pretty much exclusively either dictatorships butthurt about sanctions and Europeans butthurt about their irrelevance.

Which group of faggots are you?

A part of me hates nationalism because it warps your views on historical facts. It's easy to get caught up in your pride and become defensive at the cost of intellectual honesty.

gimme sources to read. Also, stop splitting your sentences up into paragraphs

damn....
we single handedly saved the world from nazis twice and commies once and this is how you treat us?

Ironically, a lot of the countries we ruined really like us. Philippines, Vietnam, El Salvador, Honduras.

Okay, I forgot two other categories

>countries infested with hippies, who naturally hate anything that is strong and beautiful
>countries that are upset that we're building a wall

>butthurt dictatorships and irrelevant Europeans
you were intending to back up what he said?

>Americans genuinely think the War of 1812 was about the British trying to take over again

nice b8 m8

>we liberated France from Nazis.
there's that word again

>was fought after the war was already over

>British genuinely think that the War of 1812 was the US trying to annex Canada

What happened is, the US demanded an end to impressment and some other stuff, and the British agreed to all of America's requests, but by the time that the news of the British agreeing got back to the states, the US had already declared war.

What resulted was a pointless, indecisive clusterfuck and status quo antebellum. Not a victory and not a loss.

Well, we could have waited in England for the Russians to """liberate""" France.

Ironically, they'd probably be a lot less communist now.

or you could have allied with the nazis and destroyed communism forever

why is it that all the defensive americans here use the term 'we' to refer to states 200 years ago whilst also using reddit spacing? really fires my neurons

The world hates ya'll and you think it's the world's fault.

america lost the civil war

>Start a war
>Invade with troops
>Occupy several provinces with the goal of occupying more land and and controlling the country
>99% lose it and your country grows tired of being so shit at war
>withdraw troops

See we never lost despite all our operational goals failing!!! You know just as well as I do you never would of left Vietnam if the United states and South Vietnam won the war, you left cause you lost and got beaten and wanted to save face. Which guess what is still losing.

When America finally leaves Afghanistan they'll declare themselves victors before the Taliban swarm all over the cities and the last helicopters are flying off as the Taliban march into the embassy. Imagine if Japan got a conditional surrender treaty but they called it a peace treaty. That's what America does.

>ya'll
Stop hanging out with self-hating diversity-Americans on twitter

The US lost the war of 1812 it failed to annex any territory from Upper or Lower Canada and the british conscription of American sailors had ceased before the war had started. The only thing they really had to justify the war and to claim victory on would be taking territory which they failed to do. The US definitely lost the Vietnam war too, they withdrew and when their foe violated the peace agreement they stood by impotently and let their proxy be overrun and destroyed. No way about it, that's an L.

>what is Vietnam
>what is the American intervention in the Russian Civil War

woah... people in different countries have different opinions about a country that represents a wide range of ideas

>agrees to keep things the way they were before the war
yes, that's what a stalemate is

That Little Turtle was a tough sumbitch

Russia won the Russo Japanese war, no Russian cities were attacked

Can Americans admit defeat?

I'm an American, I'll freely admit that America lost the Vietnam war, a conflict that it never should have gotten involved in to begin with.

America's performance in the war of 1812 was lackluster at best (although the USN did well in individual 1 on 1 engagements against the RN, though that made no difference other than being a prestige hit to the British) but at the end of the day that conflict was a white peace, so not a win or loss for either side.

Other than that, what wars could you argue that America lost? I'm trying to think
