I wouldn't say they lost. They failed their strategic objectives, but they're still out there, intact and combat capable.

Losing is what happened to Germany after both World Wars.

If you start a war in someone else's country and they push you out...they won the war which means the US lost it. Your definition that the country has to be taken over to lose is a very different situation. If you can't accept we started a war, lost thousands of US lives and left without achieving any objective we set out as a loss you might need to reflect on the propaganda you've been fed and how it's affected you.

I think you found a great way to never "lose" anything with this definition.

America simply "failed their strategic objectives" in Vietnam?

It's laughable to use such a silly euphemism to imply America was not defeated! The North Vietnamese won. Get over it.

> It's their relentless deindustrialization that will eventually do them in

Agree, China has already won, at this point a lot of the world sees them as a more sane option than USA as well which is a nuts timeline

How do you learn to cope so well? Did you attend the Dugin College of psychotic delusion or something?
