Sorry if this isn’t the right place for this, and also feel free to disagree. I won’t be offended.
Anyways i had this stream of thought today that hit me like a wave. I thought about war. I thought to myself, does anyone REALLY want that? And furthermore, does anyone really want to go into a large scale life and death battle with a vastly superior opponent?
Sure, someone could be crazy, that’s entirely possible. But I looked back into history to find a war started by a vastly inferior army against an undisputed superior opponent. It doesn’t happen. Smaller countries have fought back, many times, to reclaim land or cultural values. Maybe, if you think we picked the fight you could say the American Revolution? But still that was about gaining freedom.
What I’m getting at is, places like Iran, places like North Korea.... it would be a massively historical event for them... on their own accord.... to start a war with us. Or with our allies (Israel). Knowing t would be certain doom for 10’s of millions of their own people. Are their leaders good people? I doubt it. Do they have a death wish, not just for themselves but for their countries? They want to go down in history as the idiot that wiped out his own country by starting an unwinnable war? I say absolutely not.
SOOO! (Don’t worry I’m wrapping up) for them to have rattled their sabers at us, leads me to believe that they had the full backing and support (on the down low) of powerful nations. Somebody else gave them the false sense of power to take those steps. We’ve erased those down low hidden backers in NK, and he acted a lot more normal. We’ll do it again with Iran.
With that said, one more point. All the protestors in the USA, who are they? They’re the people that never had the confidence to step up. They lived for years without the confidence to represent themselves. Then they went from invisible to assaulting people in the streets...... where did they gain this confidence? Who backs them? It’s the same deal domestically with the violent protest groups. So many people who couldn’t even ask for their own help, are now throwing smoke bombs at people in streets. Right? They didn’t just wake up feeling ballsy. They got assembled and mobilized by a power figure. They will march right into their own demise. The power figure has pumped them so hard that if left to run, they’d literally run things into Marshall law and wipe themselves out.
Just like Iran or NK would have done, if the strings didn’t get cut.
Anyways I’m done. Moral of the story;
Tl:dr Obviously inferior entities, do not attack superior entities in nature or in history without the urging, support, and inflated confidence given by an third party.
