    Any actual military actions by the US have been met with superior counterattacks, using inferior equipment and amazing ingenuity.

    These days they use our 'obsolete' weapons that we've been happy to sell at a massive profit over the years.

    Nice that they use our weapons against us.
    Superpower is not just military strength. We are the world's economic superpower. America is the greatest country on the planet.

    we don't go in to win wars. We went in to NATIONBUILD in Iraq
    Korea wasn't completely sucessful because we were on China's doorstep. But it did stop the north.

    We did massively bomb Libya - we won a failed terrorist state. Obama's/Clinton's legacy.

    " We went in to NATIONBUILD in Iraq " #277
    Governor Bush campaigned against VP AlGore in Y2K explicitly eschewing nation building.

    That's not an endorsement.
    Instead it's an unambiguous example of Republican candidates campaigning on one set of principles, and once in office doing another.

    btw
    Governor Reagan may have been better at that than any of them.
    Governor Reagan ran against President Carter on balancing the budget, and paying down the debt; and Reagan ridiculed Carter for the amount of debt the Carter administration added to the total.
    "You and I as individuals can, by borrowing, live beyond our means, but for only a limited period of time. Why, then, should we think that collectively, as a nation, we are not bound by that same limitation?" Ronald Reagan's First Inaugural Address, 1981
    BUT !!

    Once in office, Reagan not only added more to the U.S. federal debt than the president he criticized for it; Carter.
    President Reagan added more to the U.S. federal debt than all the previous U.S. presidents, COMBINED!!

    So much for Republican integrity. Even their demigod is a crook.

    Anyone liking sausages or laws shouldn't watch either being made.

    ACA is clearly sub-optimal.

    BUT !!

    I'll agree with Obama this far:

    Before ACA worker healthcare was provided by employers.
    The consequence?

    Consider the obvious automobile example.
    Cars produced in nations that had socialized medicine had worker medical care from the government.
    Cars produced in the U.S. had medical care provided from the car maker.
    That added $Thousands to the cost of each car the U.S. produced; giving the U.S. a competitive disadvantage.

    Obama wanted the U.S. to not merely compete, but to win!
    Thus: ACA / Obamacare.

    Is it what he wanted?
    No. I suspect he'd have preferred universal single-payer.

    But I think he claims he got millions more Americans insured. By his standard, that's an improvement.

    "Affordable Care Act" that's in a death spiral. Hell of an achievement
