Comment on The future of warfare is now

  I am just teasing out exciting (well as exciting as war can be, which is horrific)

  I wish people were more willing to confront the horror and less eager to speculate on the excitement.

  Instead, we just see bloodlust. People online clutching their keyboards in rapt anticipation of the next bombing or shelling or assassination, like this isn’t costing uncounted civilian lives to put points on the board.

  What do you want? More solemnity? Do you want us to not cheer for Ukraine? I mean what the hell is your goal?

  To get people to see this as an ongoing disaster, tragedy, and fundamental political failure, rather than some kind of CoD Twitch Stream epic playthrough.
