    My wife pointed out an amazing contradiction in the American hegemony. Our entire mythic past is built up on the idea of tiny rebels going up against the big overseas tyrannical, overreaching government. We were able to beat them because we had the home field advantage.

    But those insert colonist slur of choosing can’t possibly beat the might of the mighty American government as it reaches across the ocean in it’s might and smashes all these puny tiny groups in it’s path. What’s a tunnel?

      The mythic American past is also about how the the supposedly superior whites took the land from the natives. It’s just that, again. It’s a belief that our foes are technologically and culturally inferior and thus can’t actually resist in a meaningful way. Also there’s something to be said about how Americans will still claim to this day that we actually won in both Korea and Vietnam because we had higher kill counts than they did.

    USians do not understand yet that the world has changed and the countries that it held such extreme advantages over in the past have closed the gap in a variety of ways. They imagine a world in which they would always hold a giant technology lead.

    could you imagine America actually committing to the WW2-style total war economy that would be needed to defeat a near-peer adversary in 2026? I’m not convinced that the American government currently has the capacity to whip its own capitalist class into necessary shape, although i do think we could probably send out vans of masked men to kidnap draft card holders.

      And they gleefully committed crimes against humanity in Vietnam and still left in defeat. They’ve been coping ever since with the “we would win if we nuked them all” option, as if the US is impervious to missiles itself.

      Agree that nobody will do shit about it. The eurolibs will be outraged. They’ll look deep into their hearts, and then keep doing what they’ve been doing anyway, licking American boot.

      Fascist parties will use this hypocrisy (only the latest among many liberal hypocrisies) against them and unequivocally sweep the continent. Not so secretly itching to do it themselves.

      France will wind up using them in Africa. Maybe after the fascist sweep, but probably before.

      Then the lid will be well and truly off and we’re in the cool zone.
