What do you mean by "the U.S. doesn't call Vietnam, Iraq, or Afghanistan (or wars sometimes)"?

Anyway, the U.S. glorifies its wars as Russia and the former USSR do/did. My point is that only when empires (or wannabe empires) were decisively beaten by foreign military forces did the megalomaniacal sense of destiny and superiority vanish. Japam, the UK, France, Spain, from its ambitions even Geermany, all turned "moderate" and gave up their sense of "being the fate of the world". The US has never been beaten that decisively. And Russia, although probably being beaten, will not be beaten on its own soil and will spin its defeat in the sense it always does: Being a grand nation, but always being subdued by foreign nations that want to prevent Russia from its place. It's a centuries-old paranoia.
