    I demand less explicit metaphors of US imperial collapse, it's getting way too easy to analyze it now and I want to go back to feeling like a very smart and special boy for seeing the obscure signs.

    used to be that you had to write a fully-sourced, ten-paragraph piece suggesting that the US military is secretly falling apart, but now you can just point to the two or three disasters that Western militaries have experienced this week and shrug your shoulders

    Can't stop the Houthis.

    Can't build a pier.
