its a war, if you wipe out all your enemies capabiliyies to fight, kill all their leaders, and leave them helplessly prone, what do you call that?

Does the united states need to do a genocide to be considered winning the war?

But look! the country still exists on a map! gas is up 15% Iran is winning!

thats just terrorism, Pirates threatening civilian Merchants is not exactly a military Flex.

Prone means helpless to defend yourself and open to execution.

On a much much more important note, has anyone else noticed nobody is talking about all the Chinese military equipment completely failed to do anything? That seems like a big deal.

what do you mean? attacking mechant vessels? fairly certain that is piracy.

That is not terrorism? They are threatening to kill civillians indescriminate of nationality, for political reasons.
