Arabs were contributing to the strength of the Ottoman Empire and were confident that they could win when they made their move on Israel in 1948, but Jewish settlers won instead. Ottoman Empire was a big power for centuries but a world war proved too costly for it to maintain its grip on numerous lands and it disintegrated due to other powers encroaching on its lands and carving them up into newly found kingdoms.
Very easy - is that why no country wants to pick a fight with the US head on? You do not study modern war and operations and this is why you come up with ill-informed claims like these. War On Terror wasn't aimed to create colonies but to eliminate hostile elements in select countries under the perception that 9/11 will not happen again. Do you see Al-Qaeda Network winning the war in Afghanistan? Saddam regime winning the war in Iraq? Qaddafi regime winning the war in Libya? and ISIL absorbing Iraq and Syria in its questionable caliphate in recent years? No, all of these adversaries were wiped out in a series of operations in the war.
How do you think US was fighting a war in Afghanistan? Through Russia? Return of Taliban is due to the fact that Pakistan saved these people and Taliban accepted American terms to end the war in Doha Accords with Pakistani and Qatari mediation. Khan administration convinced Trump administration to take this deal and settle the war - this in itself is a unique development because Trump is a wild cat in American politics. Taliban have religio-political association with Pakistani mullahs and provide strategic depth to the establishment in Afghanistan to prevent India from having a foothold in this region. Taliban also lost many fighters in various battles and could not save their Al-Qaeda brothers and accepted the American demand to not support Al-Qaeda Network to end the war. It takes time and funds to train new fighters and heavy losses might not be sustainable in the long term so Taliban made a sensible call in the end. These facts were pointed out to you only for you to ignore them and derail another topic. Taliban got a second chance but others might not be as lucky as was witnessed in the Middle East. Taliban are also testing Pakistani goodwill a bit much and Pakistan might do something. Illegal Afghans are being pushed out from the country as a start. I find ill-informed simping for Taliban distasteful - giving more credit to a side than it deserves. Accepting facts is important - don't be a dothead.
Iran could become strong because US had unfinished business in other countries and did not seek to contain it like Iraq after 1991. Iran could bid its time to rebuild its military capability and find allies in some countries to create its strategic depth in the region in this manner. US and Pakistan did not provide troops for Saudi-led coalition to defeat Houthi in Yemen. US also allowed Russia and Iran to save Assad regime in Syria because US was focused on stopping ISIL in the region instead (Operation Inherent Resolve). Israel is attacking Iranian assets in Syria since 2017 in fact. American War On Terror crusade might be closing to an end in Syria and Iraq but the ongoing war in Gaza will show things to you. Let us all know if an American fleet is sunk by now.
US came up with the Theory of Limited War to advance its interests in different regions after World War 2. US have fought to liberate several countries from tough odds with this approach - these countries provide footprint and strategic depth to the US in different regions. There was a setback in Vietnam due to American political paralysis at the time but US and Vietnam are rebuilding their bilateral relationship in current times. US gets to influence an entire country now instead of South Vietnam if it was preserved. You think small and celebrate these small setbacks.
This is not a matter of bragging but how the world seems to work. Creating strategic depth can be a morally grey move at times but some countries consider it.
Every power comes with new advansenment. Reason why they won and rulle
Muslims came and rulled with Discipline and starting war early morning and their learned discipline from namaz. With one voice Allah akbar they used to line up millions of soldiers in seconds.
Mungauls came with fast attack methods. Like their soldiers used to cary three houses. One if get tired they used to ride another and they were expert to hit enemies with Arrows from running horses.
Same pattern was used by ottomans

In last defeat in Afghanistan is just a small start.
Just look how thing have started. Biological(covid 19) war ended in disaster along with Afghanistan withdrawal. Then Syria war ended in defeat Iraq is almost under Iran now. Then saudies who allies with usa lost in yaman. Yaman stared attacking saudies oil refineries. Which froce usa and saudia to stop the war. Now yaman is confident that they challenged usa and Isreal. In last Ukraine defeat is very recent. Syrian war was another defeat.
In last usa designed UN to run the world. Now UN is not fully under its controlled.
In last France losing its grip in Africa.
They divided world like this
Africa for France
Midel east for a USA and uk
Australia for uk and usa.
This is how they have occupied the world.
Pointing out some facts does not warrant these jabs. The world will continue to change and all will see how different countries will do in time. You have a passionate take on things, I have a more fact-oriented take on things. You need to respect what others have to say without being reactionary. Global developments should be understood accurately to avoid missteps and calculations.
