SlowpokeCon🦡 🇻🇦 ヤドンコン🇺🇸

The most black-pilling thing about the Iran ‘war’ is the very fact that it’s taken seriously & considered *as* a war, despite very constrained rules of engagement, limited scope, exclusive reliance on air power, unwillingness to risk American lives or equipment. The fact that it’s on the public’s radar at all as a ‘war’ & suitable object of protest gives me very little hope that there is anything at all left of America, its will to live & fight, its men, its historical purpose & self-understanding. It’s the most vicious condemnation of the American body politic & electorate one could think of—that we can’t stomach a nearly casualtyless sideshow action without crying, throwing up, & turning against the president & his party. America has no hope of winning the wars to come… just a self-defeating, exhausted, blown out country riddled with mental & physical AIDS. No appetite for bloodshed whatsoever. Old, rich, risk-averse, spineless. [Don’t construe this post as being in favor of the war for this or that reason. I am making an observation about America based on ‘what counts as war’ & how seriously this particular conflict should be have been taken.]
