This narrative is tired and played out.
It’s the neocon equivalent of :
« Florida will be underwater in a few years. »
And just like the climate narrative, it’s used to conjure emotional support for tyrannical, destructive agendas.
This is how mass support for war is manufactured :
weaponization of fear.
No matter what happens next, don’t allow yourself to be emotionally hijacked into advocating for war, death,and destruction.
"Beautiful ideals were painted for our boys who were sent out to die. This was the ’war to end wars.’ This was the ’war to make the world safe for democracy. No one told them that dollars and cents were the real reason. No one mentioned to them, as they marched away, that their going and their dying would mean huge war profits. No one told these American soldiers that they might be shot down by bullets made by their own brothers here. No one told them that the ships on which they were going to cross might be torpedoed by submarines built with United States patents. They were just told it was to be a ’glorious adventure.’”
"War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the
majority of the people. Only a small ’inside’ group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many."
—both quotes from Major General Smedley Butler, the most decorated Marine in US history.
