Won? Not at all. Will survive indefinitely in an asymmetrical, unpopular war that will bolster the legitimacy of their increasingly repressive government? Yes. Which is better than winning, in some ways.

That's what "winning" a war is in real life

“Winning” is right and not as sensational. “Won” is looking for clicks.

They still haven't "accidentally" dropped a nuke, desperate lunatics will do anything.

Wait, which who? Because the US has done that a few times (it didn't blow up, or was subcritical I read it fifteen years ago okay I thought they recovered the bomb the US whoopsied but I could be wrong)

Yeah, and I know you meant your whoopsie was an "oops that bomb we dropped was supposed to be conventional". My whoopsie is "dammit George Dubya you gotta put the fuckin safety on or it will just roll out of the damn plane when you aren't looking". I was just being obnoxious for conversations sake
