“There will be more to come” -Osama Bin Laden after 9/11
Is there a difference here? I mean aesthetically. 9/11 was obviously a result of blowback and Trump is the leader of an entire nation. But just on its face, it’s an attack on civilian infrastructure that killed innocent people.
I’m almost glad we have reached the point in American history that we can clearly just say “yes, we are the terrorists”. The difficult part now is trying to educate the western world to realize that “we always have been”.
Trump is America with the mask off. Don’t believe me? Look at the New York times article still trying to do the old style neocon consent manufacturing to justify it as “a route for weapons”. Meanwhile the president is just saying we’re gonna bomb water infrastructure and “send them back to the stone age”.
It’s interesting to watch the gears of US Imperialism try to run its old methods of justification while our leadership has stopped playing that game.
The west needs to educate itself quickly. This is far more long lasting than Trump. The illusion of America being a “force for good” is gone. Our soft power is destroyed and our military bases are being proven to be a security risk for any nation that houses them. We’ll just take our troops out of the base, let it get bombed, and hide our troops in your civilian hotels.
Every country with an American military base needs its citizens in its streets demanding it’s removal. Your country will quickly become the nearest target for justified return fire as America continues it’s war machine.
I think Artemis has left LEO by now, and so if so, I think this is the first time since this meme was created that we have humans in a plausible location for this to actually happen. Not exactly, of course, but higher than LEO, which this image is clearly depicting. heh.

First time since 1972, I believe.
