    And then we take a song you wrote to mock us and sing it as a celebration of that time we kicked your ass.

    The club of those who beat us includes only three members, two of which were proxy wars we ultimately weren’t willing to commit to. Not exactly a record that screams “easy target”

        I’m not familiar with the Ottoman case. Cuba ig I see an argument for. It didn’t occur to me because the Bay of Pigs isn’t usually thought of as a war and it mostly wasn’t us on the ground. In any case, it was such a slap dash affair that it only makes my argument stronger
