trump('s generals) correctly recognise that there is absolutely no benefit in even pretending to hide behind the fake rules of the liberal world order anymore, and as climate collapse accelerates this kind of smash and grab take what we want imperialism is america's only viable future

in many ways trump is the perfect useful idiot here as he is such a force of personality and conducting this war so brazenly that it is extremely easy to be shocked, apalled and horrified by this without actually opposing the american empire that is the root of this evil and bloodshed

which is all to say that unfortuantely we've seen more than enough illegal american wars of agression in our lifetime to know exactly how this plays out politically, the process critiques, anger over congressional consultation, quibbling over legality of the specific strikes and orders
