    Part of me just can’t help put this in the frame-of-reference of the Iraq War.

    I’m forced to imagine a bunch of terminally online war geeks clapping and cheering every time the Pentagon announced another big operation in Haditha or a re-occupation of Fallujah.

    Trying to square that with the absolute horror of a war sent my head spinning then. And not much has changed since.

    How could the bridge have been hit? It’s perfectly fine, all the explosives must’ve passed through these conveniently-placed smoking holes we built into it after last time.

    We must now invade Ukraine a year and a half ago in retaliation.

    -Some intensely sweating Russian state media propagandist clown, probably.
