    I think this is where you get when you have Iraq/Afghanistan and how that's "wrapped up" as of recent, so a decent sector (like tens of percent is all I'm saying) of the American public really doesn't want that bullshit again. As the US state quickly loses legitimacy between Bush, Trump, and Biden, there's enough of a foothold opening up for an "anti-war" position to break through the barriers that have usually been there.

    As domestic problems continue to flare up, people are going to demand that the focus be on (usually ghoulish) solutions to those things, rather on going to war for treats they aren't getting anyway. As that contradiction becomes more intense you'll see more of this.
