Amerika can only fight broken countries.

Obligatory reminder than an ideal of warfare that anglos call "fair" is the battle of Omdurman. Or at best 1st Iraq war.

Don’t worry though, it keeps breaking more countries so there is a steady supply.

Idk, there are hundreds of millions of europeans they can easily conscript into fighting wars for them

Entire EU militaries combined don't even have million battle worthy troops and reserves are nonexistent in most countries because of bad state of public health.

I don't think the americans would care. They just need warm bodies for the meat grinder quota

Yes, it would be Ukraine style recruitment, undoubtedly in Slavic countries first, southern Europe second while west and Scandinavia would send kidnapping squads.

Are you calling Yemen broken?

It's in the middle of a civil war. My meaning is that the US can't fight a real war. Even Iraq was devastated by decades of sanctions and bombings before the US invaded.
