To be completely fair, America does have a long history of losing the peace.,.😷

Except for every other president since Harry Truman and even He didn't win the war without massive help from Britain, Canada, Australia and more than any other the USSR. The US is not a war winner. They just like to start them then run bravely away.

The Soviet Union declared war on Japan on August 8, 1945. When it invaded the Kuril Islands, it relied heavily on U.S. supplied landing craft, torpedo boats and other small naval vessels.

We don't seem to recall the names of the ships in the Pacific flying British, Canadien, Russian, or Austrailian flags during WWII, can you help us out?

@beckyromero Gee, that is almost as many ships that were in Task Force 58.1, one of the 9 divisions of Task Force 58, part of the Fifth Fleet. And who can forget the First Fleet, and the Ninth Fleet, not to mention the submarines and supply ships.
For a more comprehensive listing of the US Navy ships, see https://www.history.navy.mil/research/library/online-reading-room/title-list-alphabetically/u/us-pacific-fleet-organization-1may1945.html
And that is just the navy, don't forget the Marines, Army, Coast Guard, and Army Air Force and their operations in the Pacific. The Pacific War was wholly an American effort

The Brits, Dutch and Aussies took a beating until we got our act together at Coral Sea and Midway.
And let's not forget about the Chinese, which tied up millions of Japanese troops on land.
World War II was an ALLIED victory that would have been nearly impossible without the United States.

Who lost a war?
Most of Iran's senior leaders are dead.
Iran's navy and air force no longer exist.
Most of their air defenses have been trashed.
Most of their military manufacturing facilities are reduced to rubble.
On the other side one - count it one - U.S. fighter was shot down.
Have you no connection at all with the real world?

@GoodoldBob There were no jets shot down before Feb 28. There were tankers backed up in the Strait. There weren't 7 dead soldiers. There weren't 350+ wounded soldiers. A US carrier was't damaged so bad it hat do limp into port. There was no nuclear threat. There was no Iranian threat at all. And gas was affordable. And we still don't know how this ends. Winning?

@GoodoldBob sounds like you missed the news from over the weekend. It's hard to understand that the USA lost hundreds of millions of dollars worth of aircraft, a secret number of lives and the war unless you listened to the enemy and the neutral parties who reported on events.

Hmm. It's a ceasefire, not an armistice or war-ending treaty.....

@sunsporter1649 All Iran had to do to win was still be there at the end. They are still there..😷

@sunsporter1649 Strange how it is the US doing the begging and Iran telling them to pound sand. Why are you always cheering for evil?
