The 19th century was the peak of traditional warfare; weapons technology had improved so much that by the early 20th century, war went from battlefield strategy to mass carnage. Then Hiroshima changed even that; rulers now need new forms of war that don’t risk destroying them along with the peasants. So far, economic war, propaganda war, and “cyber” war seem to be the leading forms. And people don’t seem to have grasped yet that just because these forms don’t involve people being blown to bits by the tens of millions, doesn’t mean they aren’t as dangerous to nation-states as 20th-century war. For too long, the US has allowed presidents to engage in military adventurism without Congressional benediction, devastating the countries targeted by such warfare and funneling untold billions into the coffers of “defense” contractors. And now Congress is allowing the mad emperor to engage in an economic war which has already destroyed the liberal 20th century world order and has set fire to the US economy; will it finally act to stop him when he progresses from sending pseudo-soldiers to attack some Americans to sending actual troops to fire on Americans en masse?
