Search Results: he kicked me

Would you... Kick or kiss.. and what?

I saw an article discussing the Great washout of the tech job market. Once an industry that presidents, billionaires, and other prominent people boasted as the pathway to success is no longer.

It speaks volumes when tech majors are struggling more than art history majors. I have come to wonder, has the software engineer the new aspiring "artist" or musician? You know those career paths that are highly unrealistic where people laugh when you tell them? Like "yeah, I want to be the next studio artist for Disney" or some shit like that.

Meanwhile, the middle class is being pulverized and destroyed. Once the beacon of prosperity of the "American Dream" is becoming less and less likely to obtain, especially for younger generations.

I grew up in a typical upper-middle-class family. The two-story family home in a mostly-white subdivision neighborhood with the community pool, attending top-notch schools, and riding in the family SUV. The baseball team, boy scouts, and my regular doctors visits became a common routine as a child. We were able to eat out at modest places after church. The pantry full of food. You know what I mean.

It seems this lifestyle will never be obtainable in my lifetime. My grandparents were wealthy, my parents were strong upper class, my generation is struggling to even afford an apartment or trailer. It is like kicking a can down a road, getting more and more beat up.

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?
