This happens when governments fall for their own propaganda and illusions of grandeur - one can ignore reality only for sometime and at one own's peril. Now the chickens of this failed demonization of Russia are coming home to roost -> coupled with the supply-chain issues and the amount of pure moneyprinting before and during the Covid-phenomenon, it's going to be a rough ride for Western civilisation and their political system...
“The US was still dropping World War Two era bombs on targets in the Second Iraq War in 2003.”
They kind of had a comeuppance of sorts during the Vietnam war, when (to follow Wikipedia) the USS Forestal, in their haste to increase sorties on a particular day, suffered a mishap involving ordinance, which was made worse by the outdated WWII bombs they had scrounged from a Philippines warehouse. A lot of Vietnamese got away with their lives that day.
I wonder, didn’t the Germans get the memo explaining that colonialism is a game to be played strictly with non industrialised peoples?
