I don't think enough people thinking about geopolitics in my generation actually read about the Gulf War. it's much deeper than this but the Wikipedia page is a surprisingly good summary.
It was a slaughter, overwhelming force, in and out in a month. I need you to let that sink in.
a month. I'm just saying.
A big chunk of it occurred over two days.
I don't hear much about it from people talking about US/NATO aggression.
but it sent a message about resisting too much. It started the nineties. The atrocities didn't help, but that coalition would have formed even if they were squeaky clean.
stay safe out there, folks.
