I don't think a lot of people conceptualize how fucking wasteful and costly war is. Let's assume that the increased gas prices represent $1000 imposition on someone who commutes to work over a year. A fucking war is more like 1/2 your salary, you give up your son, and you have to receive a ration of butter. And THEN you use those taxes to do a friendly fire mortar round on the poor son of a bitch who got sent over there. The $1000 imposition was already enough in this zeitgeist to make a healthy majority want to avoid war even if you call it a no-fly zone. It's just such a fucking mockery of human relations
