Hear me out. While it's true the U. S. has the strongest arsenal, I think STRATIGECALLY, the RUSSIANS are best.

Hear me out. The Americans lost Vietnam. They lost the Cuban revolution. In the Iraq War, they recaptured 5 cities from Al-Qaida only to lose them again. They lost Afghanistan embarassingly. In Syria, they were getting their asses kicked for years. Every Arab country they intervened in is worse off. They won the Iraq-Kuwait war, but didn't finish off Sadam right there and then, which ultimately lead to the second Iraq War, which was a disaster.

While the Russians on the other hand, were mostly responsable for defeating Germany in WWII. Russia was able to regain control of Chechnya and keep the other "breakaway regions" In Syria, they held off the opposition for YEARS and Assad stayed in power longer then any other leader in the region! They annexed Abkhazia and South Ossetia and the Georgians don't even dare attempt to try to take them back. They took Crimea, and Ukraine hasn't been able to get it back. Zelensky has been getting his ass kicked in Ukraine.

Yes, they lost Afghanistan, but the Russians have historically had better results in their wars then the Americans. So how can people say the US military is the best in the world?

Do the following National Park placards need editing of any kind or do you find them historically accurate.

This is the text inset in image 3:

“The artwork depicts George Washington’s hands in the foreground; one with the Fugitive Slave Act, the other with a quill signing the Act, in the background a posse of white men are depicted with clubs and guns shooting at four black men (one who has been shot in the head) presumably. "

In an executive order in March, the president instructed the Park Service to review plaques, films and other materials presented to visitors at 433 sites around the country, with the aim of ensuring they emphasize the “progress of the American people” and the “grandeur of the American landscape.”

Employees had until last week to flag materials that could be changed or deleted, and the Trump administration said it would remove all “inappropriate” content by Sept. 17, according to the internal agency documents. The public also has been asked to submit potential changes.

In response, a coalition of librarians, historians and others organized through the University of Minnesota has launched a campaign called “Save Our Signs.” It is asking the public to take photos of existing content at national parks and upload it. The group is using those images to build a public archive before any materials may be altered. So far, it has more than 800 submissions.

The directive led by Trump to promote a more positive view of the nation’s history. In his executive order, the president also took aim at the Smithsonian Institution, claiming that it had promoted “narratives that portray American and Western values as inherently harmful and oppressive.”

Really, I tried to like a couple of their songs, but I can taste nothing.
