I love those. Another good one is listing:

Vietnam
Afghanistan
Iraq
Ukraine

And saying something ironically, like "this time it will be different."

They are purposefully hiding one tiny bit of detail thought, that Ukrainian war was started and is being fought by Russia not the US.

To be fair, the Russians also fought in Afghanistan and Vietnam.

But ya, Afghanistan is a good analogy of the US CIA arming local militias and ultimately defeating the Russians in a long drawn out war of attrition. Thankfully there were no long term consequences to the US.

Perhaps you are being sarcastic, and I can't identify it. Perhaps what I think is common knowledge is not so common: Osama bin Laden was one of the people the CIA trained in the 80s.
