• 🇮🇶 Iraq (2003–2011): U.S. invasion toppled Saddam but failed to stabilize the country

• 🇱🇦 & 🇰🇭 Laos & Cambodia: heavily bombed during the Vietnam War, both ended under communist control

• 🇱🇾 Libya (2011): regime change succeeded but led to chaos and failed state

• 🇷🇺 Russia (Cold War proxy): never direct war, but U.S. lost several proxy battles (e.g., Vietnam, Cuba, Afghanistan via Mujahideen)

• 🇫🇷 France (Revolutionary War): ironically, the U.S. wouldn’t exist without France defeating Britain alongside them

• 🇨🇦 War of 1812: technically defended successfully against U.S. invasion

🧭 “It’s Complicated” category (checkered pattern):

• U.S. Civil War: internal defeat for the Confederacy, not foreign

• Proxy wars: many Cold War conflicts ended without a clear “winner”
