Guest Post by Kurt Schlichter
If you want an indicator of how lost Western civilization has become, go to your kids’ school and check their rules on fighting. Most likely, you’ll find out if two kids get into a fight, both get suspended, regardless of whether one was a punk bully who started it and the other was simply defending himself or some little kid. This is a moral disaster, of course – violence in the defense of what is right is a moral obligation and a symbol of a greater rot within society. This is the kind of rule created by middle-aged, divorced cat women who can neither find nor satisfy a man and live in a tranquil bubble of affluent, frivolous safety and security created by their harder, worthier forbearers who understood the world’s true nature.
The true nature of the world is savagery.
The world’s true nature is that good is forever pitted against evil.
That has never changed. What happened over the last 70 years or so was an interregnum of peace in the West, created by violence against barbarians and facilitated by people willfully looking away from the butchery still continuing at the fringes of the map. The West managed to build a civilization that was – for the first time in history since perhaps the Pax Romana – generally internally peaceful. And the West convinced itself that this was normal.
But it was not normal. It was an anomaly, a glorious one, but an anomaly nonetheless. The world is not a peaceful place, and it never was, and it never will be. Despite the best efforts of the arrogant left, human nature has not changed. Human nature is vicious and cruel. Rousseau’s noble savage nonsense, which we are still dealing with today in the form of eager sophomores in Che t-shirts slobbering over Hamas psychopaths – is a giant fraud. Savages are not distinguished by their nobility. Their savagery distinguishes them. And we need to find the moral strength to do what is necessary to defeat them.
We must learn again to kill. We must learn again to destroy. We must learn again to be ruthless in defeating our enemies. The big lie that Western civilization tells itself is that there are no real enemies, that there are no bad people – except the people of the West themselves, who bear some sort of original sin for not being corrupt and inept Third World barbarians.
We do have enemies, as we have seen. We do have enemies, as they tell us. When they talk about decolonization, they are talking about de-you-ization. When they talk about killing settlers, you need to understand that you are a settler, and they mean killing you. They mean raping your daughter in front of you. They mean chopping your baby’s head off. They mean slaughtering your wife or husband, sons and daughters, and even your dog. And they mean enjoying it, reveling in the ecstatic glee of mass murder, and being so proud of it that they call home to their daddies and brag about it, or put up their body cam videos on TikTok.
The world was always a savage place. What happened on October 7 was not an anomaly. It was normality. What do you think happened to sacked cities in the past, which is what these Gaza-adjacent towns in Southern Israel essentially were? The attackers captured their objective, burned and razed the buildings, stole everything they could carry, raped anyone without a penis and some with, and piled corpses in the streets. We’re stunned simply because we forgot what a sack is, but for most of human history, people lived in terror of it happening to them, hoping for the chance to inflict one upon their neighbors.
We in the West, of which Israel is a part and thereby is hated, forgot about this. Worse, we have forgotten our strength and our courage. We have forgotten that we survive not through gentle hugging but through sword-swinging. For example, we have forgotten how to conduct a siege. The idea that Israel should somehow give these Hamas barbarians food, water, and electrical power even if it surrounds Gaza and prepares to attack is mind-boggling insanity. The moral illiteracy of expecting Israel to care more about the Palestinian people than other Palestinians do is simply bizarre.
Remember the Pax Romana? Do you think that peace just sort of occurred because everybody shared their feelings openly and without restraint? Do you know how the Romans did sieges? Let’s talk about Caesar at Alesia. The Gauls had gotten uppity and killed a lot of Romans, so Caesar decided to pacify them. The barbarian leader Vercingetorix took refuge in the hilltop town, and Caesar immediately surrounded it. He had his legionnaires build a giant wall around it to lock the Gauls inside. The Gauls called their friends for help, so Caesar built another wall around his besieging forces to keep the relief column at bay. He starved out Alesia, eventually forcing the Gauls to attack and defeating them handily. Then he took Vercingetorix back to Rome, made him march in chains in triumph, and then had his defeated enemy strangled. This was an important learning point for the barbarians. Don’t screw with civilized people, or everybody dies.
This is how you get a Pax Romana. There’s no other way.
The hard truth is that the world contains bad people who must be crushed through ruthless violence, which shocks and horrifies modern sensibilities. But it is reality nonetheless. When people want to kill you, you are at a decision point. You can either let them kill you or stop them. But stopping them often involves aesthetically displeasing actions, such as blowing them into little bits with bombs or shoving a bayonet into their guts and watching them die in agony. And it necessarily means inflicting death and damage on the noncombatant camp followers around them. That’s why they say war is hell. And that’s why starting one is probably not a good idea. But when someone else starts one, you have to choose them or you. Someone’s going to die badly, and you know, I propose it is those other guys.
The West didn’t start this fight, but it damn well better finish it, or they will finish us. Time to stop being soft. It’s time to stop lying to ourselves. It’s time to stop pretending that human nature took a 180° change a few decades ago and that we are not the same animals we used to be because now we have cars, airplanes, and Instagram.
We are the same brutal, cruel, and warlike creatures we have always been. Every headline, every act of hideous violence, and every pro-genocide cheer by the grad school sociopaths who fetishize Third-World savages, proves it. What we have to do is lift the scales from our eyes, understand the situation we are in, and accept it.
For the last couple of generations, we in the West have told ourselves that we have changed. We told ourselves that we are beyond violence. And we told ourselves that everyone else was too. But that was a lie.
We need to stop lying to ourselves. A society that suspends both kids when one of them slugs a bully is signing its own suicide note.
Even if our leaders refuse to be clear-eyed, you can be. Buy guns and ammunition.

Bad attempt to conflate the Zionists with “the west”. The West is the Christian European nations.
Okay, but I would go with “was”
Including Israel into the west is academically dishonest. Just because the west stole it from the Arabs doesn’t mean it’s suddenly a European nation.
Indeed. Its like the the invented concept linking us to them, “judeo-Christian”.
Curious as to why they named the country Israel instead of Judah if they’re so concerned with the Judeo-Christian connection. Jesus was a descendant of the tribe of Judah and Jew literally referred to the region of Judah and the bloodline of David.
But I’m sure we all know the reason for the twisting of history and the gaslighting mind fuck being imposed on us…

“Jew” in the NT is from Greek Iuodaios, ie, Judean, a demonym. It was anyone who was a resident of Judaea, regardless of ethnicity. Jesus was NOT a Jew (Judaean) He was a Galillean.
But except for the last 3 years or so, most of His teen and adult life was spent away from the Levant because as He said, “I was sent only to the lost (apo…like lost in the woods) sheep of the house of Israel.” And Israel and most of Judah had been gone from the Levant for 6 to 7 centuries.
Have you read the Bible because you’re wrong. You must’ve skipped over all that Old Testament and boring genealogy stuff. Jesus was from the tribe of Judah which the word Jew derives from the bloodline of Judah. The physical location of the Kingdom of Judah came from the tribe of Judah who was one of the 12 sons of Jacob.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judah_(son_of_Jacob)
Jew and Judah are homonyms.
“Jew” (a 18th century English word) in Hebrew is Yehuwdiy Strong’s # 3064 it is translated as Jew 75 times in the OT.
“Judah” is Yehudah #3063 it is used as is 818 times in the OT. They are NOT the same thing and they are not interchangeable.
Yehuwdiyth #3067 Anglicized Judith, was a Canaanite wife of Esau, which would have, by marriage, made her an aunt of Judah.
Judah was also the name of that tribe’s territory, like your map shows. In Greek it was called Judaea. But 2 Kings 18:13 says Sennacherib king of Assyria took away all the cities of Judah, so it was that all 12 tribes save a tiny remnant in walled Jerusalem, which comprised the totality of the Biblical narrative after that were gone from the Levant, and NEVER went back.
The use of Yehuwdiyth as a name or title in the Canaanite culture probably went back a long time.

You’re wrong. Jews are the descendants of Jacob’s 4th in line son Judah. Your theology is gibberish because Jesus had to be a descendant of Judah otherwise he couldn’t have been anointed King of the Jews and his sacrifice would’ve been meaningless. Read your whole Bible and stop spreading bad theology.
Why would anyone want to read Jewish propaganda? That is all the bible is…
Where were those lost sheep? Up in Denmark or something?
Maybe they meant the Western part of West Asia located in the western part of the Arabian peninsula? (sarc)
Steph
Who did the Arabs steal it from?
They stole it from the ottoman empire, who stole it from the christians that stole it from the arabs who stole it from the christians / Roman empire, who stole it from the jews, who stole it from many people who occupied the land before they did. Something to that affect anyways, probably not to granular, but the idea is there.
It’s everywhere.
WTF………….you call that a nigger fight ?
Not one fat screaming sheboon wallowing on the street.
Not one crazed nigger muttering…….momma do…….momma do.
You can do better than this chitown !
The first Jew(ess) in the Bible was Yehudiyth (Judith), a Canaanitess, daughter of Beeri the Hittite and wife of Esau. Genesis 26:34. Remember, anybody can become a Jew, but an Ethiopian can’t change his skin.
Shaddup, Kurt, ya dumb doltish jock knucklehead. Go foist your savage, limited worldview on ruthless, shameless mass murderers like yourself.

Fuck you, Colonel. You love it. Go fuck yourself. What, you miss your gory [sic] days of youth?

Another prime example of how delusional Kurt Schlichter is, and that is giving him the benefit of the doubt, which he doesn’t deserve.
The world is certainly a savage place, but it has been the “west” that has repeatedly demonstrated that they are the savages, with Israel (part of the west or not) being at the top of the list. And when the victims fight back in some feeble measure of recompense, the usual suspect are “shocked” at the savagery as more excuse to continue their well rewarded savagery against the victims.
What is most disgusting is not the savagery. It is the hypocrisy that they expect everybody to play nice but themselves. Which of course is just a mind screw to be able to continue violating the victims unopposed and to maintain and garner support for being savages, at the very least.
Agree with you on Kurt. You only make more enemies by killing all your enemies, noncombatants included. Evil begets evil. Taking the narrow path means building in the face of destruction–and this is exactly what the West did to turn the course of history. The caveats, of course, are that you must defend what you create and refuse to open the gates to those who don’t share your values.
Where we disagree is that the savages live in the West. Yes, the GAE and the Brits did (and do) some evil things, but how does that compare to the conquests of the Arabs? The Turks? Mongols?
I didn’t say anything about the far past, I was referring to the last 100 years or so, and most especially since 911, so I’m not sure how you could have disagreed (we used to not be so shy about being or admitting to being savages before that).
If you want to talk about other than recent / contemporary times as it relates to the west, you have Roman / Byzantine, Alexander the Great, the Crusades, The British Empire, the Spanish Empire, the French Empire, the Dutch Empire, The Vikings, the Catholic Church to name just the ones that come readily to mind.
In contemporary times, the fact is the Arabs (the middle east Islam), Mongols (China), Turks, etc., have actually been way less aggressive than the “west” has been, creating fairly stable societies, and any conflict has mostly been at the provocation / meddling / destabilization of the “west.”
In this regard, but not limited to, Putin recently seems to have hit the nail on the head, that the “west” has been the primary force in destabilizing the world in recent/ contemporary history (at the very least).
So we’re talking about two different things here.
Mass brutality through geopolitics and by-your-own-hand brutality on a personal level. In recent times the West has been the chief offender in the former category (world wars come to mind), while Arabs and Central Asians continue to exceed in the latter.
Yet even while we were blowing up school busses full of kids with drone strikes (yes, this actually happened in Yemen), we never approached a policy of extermination or humiliation. In contrast, when the Turks conquered Asia Minor, which had been populated by Greeks for two thousand years prior, they killed ALL the men they could find and forcibly “married” all the newly-available women. Christian families who somehow survived were subjected to an impossible tax that forced their sons into military service…where castration and conversion to Islam would be required.
The Turks have mellowed a bit in modern times due to their proximity to the West (and thus the bulwark of Christianity), but even still in “the last 100 years or so” they’ve made multiple attempts at genocide upon both the Kurds and Armenians. This includes their full-bore participation in the Azerbaijani Jihad against Armenia which has resulted in a further shrinking of the Armenian borders as recently as a few weeks ago. If you think they wouldn’t also participate in an extermination effort against a certain chosen people, you’re crazy.
Anyways, evil empires suck and I hate them. But you haven’t seen true evil on a personal level until you’ve been to the East. In the West our wannabe dictators and peasants alike are restrained by the influence of a Christian culture, no matter how waning it may have become.
You may now have started a conversation about macro versus micro (i.e. geopolitical and interpersonal), but till then we were as far as I could discern discussing macro.
And I certainly never claimed there was an absence of conflict, but conflict has mainly been relegated to secular and sectarian causes within their natural spheres of influence (i.e. in their own backyards), and as I said, much of it stirred up by the west.
Turkey is is Turkey does. There is no disputing that.
Violence and tribalism is the human default position.
And sentient review, metacognition, is our way out.
What dorm are you in?
at Oberlin, Smith or NYU.
I’m in my sixties (and never been to college). What is weird in y’all’s views about what I wrote?
1. You think there’s a “way out”.
2. You think “metacognition” is going to be grasped by the 85 IQ demographic or not subverted by the small hat demographic.
Sounds like you just burned a fat one with roommate before writing that. Its glop.
Being aware of, and having feelings about, one’s thoughts and their mental process isn’t limited to humans, nor is the ability to reflect on thoughts and feelings. Having both and being ‘aware’ of it isn’t anyone’s way out of anywhere. It is only a way into your self.
Animals exhibit every emotion and are aware they have them. They, like humans, ‘consider’ risky behavior and ‘think’ their way around the consequences. They’re as sentient as people and do a better job of owning who they are; rarely self-deluded. Whether or not animals are aware of their thought process isn’t a fair question without considering they could be telepathic. That would make them aware of everybody’s thought process. Maybe that’s why we’re not telepathic. Who’d want to listen to everybody’s droning dribble except herd/pack animals living as collective antennae?
Understanding why we think and feel the way we do is a lifelong challenge. In this world, every sentient, reflective person constantly ‘adjusts’ the way they think and feel about the past, present and future, to be comfortable with the journey.
Because there’s only one way out of here, as compost.
You’se gotz to earn dem’ shekels, Cap’n Kurtz, but please don’t slobber on da’ chozenites shoes…dey cost more than you earn in a year.
Nothing new, study history. The Romans, the Mongols. European wars. the Moors, Asian wars. African tribal wars. Native American’s wars and human sacrifices. The only difference now is humans posses the power to annihilate not just other humans, but most life on Earth.
He’s got that right
Visit any inner city like NY, Chicago or any west coast large blue city and see that savagery up close and personal.
No thanks, I go out of my way to avoid those shitholes.
good advice
Should be required reading on every college campus. Not that it would do any good, however, as universities are so far gone as to be useless.
Christians need to read what the Chosenites and Muslims are saying. Christians need to be ready for what is being promised to them here in THIS world. In THIS world, men are expected to fight. Go read some old testament tales, and realize that Muslims and Chosenites still live in those days in their heads.
Realize that for all of Bidens term, Muslim killers, gangs from all over and cartel families have been invited here by our government, handed pre-loaded debit cards, given free rides all over the country. REALISE this – VISUALIZE what is coming.
If you are not strapped up going into town, you are putting your life in THEIR hands.
I have said this here many times: Humans come from the factory hardwired to self destruct and all of human history proves it. What has mankind learned during it’s existence? We are basically hunter/gatherers with electricity and more efficient ways to detach ourselves from reality and kill each other for fun and profit and “religions”. All of the information that is available to just about anyone and we are collectively dumber. Everybody always wants what they can’t have and scared to lose what they do have.
Congratulations to us.
I disagree, most people just want to be left alone to live their life in peace. But there are always the power hungry that want more land, more slaves, more wealth and more power. They are the ones that foment wars and atrocities with their power over their subjects.
Credulous at best, your desire to believe in
Angels in the hearts of men
Pull your head on out your hippy haze and give a listen
Shouldn’t have to say it all again
The universe is hostile, so impersonal
Devour to survive, so it is, so it’s always been
When you think about it, many if not most, living species that ambulate end up being devoured by something else.
This guy is beyond delusional.
He’s not delusional, he’s obviously Jewish with a German surname and he’s angry about what happened.

Here here! Great article, full of hard TRUTHS!! Accept it folks or your a$$e$ will die as well when the time comes and that time seems to be right around the corner literally. And what type of 3rd world vile filth has been strolling into our WIDE OPEN so called borders since that mindless, child sniffer seized power illegally back in 2020? The liberal retards welcome the very savage scum that wants to cut off their heads!! WAKE UP you liberal, leftist, weak, soft FOOLS. Everyone best wake up for that matter.
you misspelled asses. Or were you referring to money.
useful idiot
noun
plural useful idiots
: a naive or credulous person who can be manipulated or exploited to advance a cause or political agenda.
Always the first to die after the cause or agenda is achieved, if memory serves.
So true particularly in regard to the invaders from south of the border. Prepare yourselves to do the unthinkable as a form of self defense.
Savagery IS the default position of the Human, but to throw the blame uniquely on the Palestinians, Arabs, and Muslims in these instances is disingenous at best.
See for yourself the Pentagram’s sport-wars of the last half century or so and discover the millions of innocent dead bodies and trillions of dollars wasted in those pursuits.
I agree with you. This is a BS article. America has been at war for 90% of its existence. America and her allies certainly have not forgotten the method of violence to achieve their aims and war has been our forte for a long time.
I knew a Serbian once who fought in the war that broke up Yugoslavia. He would say, everyone only ever remembers the last punch and that’s what Kurt’s tirade above is. Hamas just for no reason whatsoever decided to go to war. No reason, just sitting around bored in their open air prison (8 miles at its widest, about 3 miles at its narrowest, and about 6 miles at the top), fiddling their thumbs on a lovely sunny day, having a barbecue, and Ahmed just blurted out “lets go invade Israel”, and so they did. Those bastards.
Oy vey, how dare you spit in my face after I cut your arms and legs off and flaying you alive! I’m doing you a favor!
“When peace comes we will perhaps in time be able to forgive the Arabs for killing our sons, but it will be harder for us to forgive them for having forced us to kill their sons. Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us.”

And for all you Palestinian deniers.
“I am a Palestinian, from 1921 to 1948, I carried a Palestinian passport.”

In America today the true nature of the nation is: Everyone gets a participation trophy, there are no winners just the equalization of the lowest common denominator in the genetic puddle.
Contaminated genetic puddle.

😂 I say that a lot around here.
The hard truth is that the world contains bad people who must be crushed through ruthless violence? What about the ignorant and stupid? The complacent and apathetic? Or, the “useful idiot” sheep? What about the hate?
If they believe in Jesus they just go to heaven when they die, according to most around here.
No worries !
So many “intellectuals” here blaming the Zionist boogieman. If it were only that simple.
Really. NOT TOO MANY, willing to give credit where credit is due.
CLEARLY…
Ephesians 6:12 “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].”
AND, What BETTER Weapon, than those
Revelation 2:9 “I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and [I know] the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but [are] the synagogue of Satan.”
Revelation 3:9 “Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.”
John 8:44 “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”
The author of this article is a complete idiot. He has his head so far up his own ass he cannot see even the simplest truths. He is just another racist, Neocon, asshole who believes the bullshit that the Anglo Saxons and Jews are the exceptional people, and that they deserve to exploit all the other people of the world. What a complete fucktard.
I grew up in Oakland(Cokeland), CA on the streets and learned quickly that when some piece of shit thug is ready to throw down you have to beat that Motherfucker until he can’t get up. By the way I’m White & never let Any Motherfucker intimidate me especially Ghetto Niggers or Piece of Shit Black Panthers. I taught all 4 of my sons to avoid violence by ignoring, walking away or getting help but once someone puts their hands on you Beat the living shit out of them until they quit or can’t get up. All of my sons have Never been defeated by any bully & 1 of my sons is gay & he will beat the living shit outta you – I had to pull him off of 1 punk that he literally was choking out before that punk was checking out permanently- scared the living shit outta me. My point is the only good bully is a beaten bully or a dead bully No Pussified negotiations. In this World it’s Kill or Be Killed – Sad but True. I Pray to Jesus but I ain’t No Christian because I believe in Killing My Enemies Not Praying for their Piece of Shit Asses – I guess I’m Old, Old School & Old Testament. Kill All Terrorists of All Races & Religions.
OK, Mr. Bad Ass.
Please go to the border with your sons and defend us……burn off some of that testosterone.
.
Careful with your broad brush. I’m a middle-aged divorced chihuahua chick, and I totally agree with you.
This is why we will meet resistance to hanging all the deep state scum. But it must be done.
Kurt The Kuck INTENTIONALLY misses (((the mark))
I see you really ticked off the natives today. You even threw me into a couple of categories, but I’m not mad about it-people are too thin-skinned. We are in for the fight of our lives and I think you made good points.
Piss on the Zionist State and all its machinations flooding Europe and the US with the 3rd world to displace & destroy Whites. . Piss on the Islamic extremists trying to exterminate us. Let them fight it out and stop giving aide to Israel or Islamic States. Invest in the US and secure our borders. This is not our problem.
What about the US government trying to kill its citizens through Covid jabs, food poisoning, 5G, sub-standard health care, an illegal invasion, and indoctrinating the children with the death cult? Is it time to stop them through “ruthless violence?” The head-choppers are here. Just saying…
WTF is Kurt smoking? That’s a piss poor reading of history. I’m pretty sure all the regions of the world being conquered and oppressed by the Roman Empire didn’t find the Pax Romana era to be peaceful. The Pax Romana was from 27 BC-180 AD and that era was the most dysfunctional time of the Roman Empire with rulers such as Caligula, Nero, and the Year of the Four Emperors. Attaching Marcus Aurelius’ rule to the end of that era didn’t make it peaceful. People need to stop trying to twist history to fit their stupid war propaganda. The Roman Empire is not something one should want to replicate in the modern era.
The Romans had awesome architecture !
So did the Greeks, Ottomans, and Babylonians but I don’t want their empires to make a comeback.
Stolen from the Etruscans.
Rome collapsed due to corruption, the old fashioned way. They were only interested in sex and sports with lots of alcohol. Kind of like a bud light commercial at an NFL event.
If one wants trouble, one doesn’t have to look very far to find it. Some people don’t know any other way of life because they don’t know God. America has had alphabet agencies to do the dirty work in other countries that the average citizen was simply taxed for, but never saw. Those agencies are now eating their host as well as doing dirty work in other countries while America became spoiled, liberated and detached from reality. No nation or system of government lasts forever on this earth. Sooner or later a nation of feminists and homosexuals has to be punished. They elected the likes of our current administration which is bringing that punishment across Americas borders by the millions. It is only a matter of time now before they are given the order and weapons to go house to house doing exactly what the article above describes.
I thought we were liberated by winning the war for independence?
” winning the war for independence?” 🤣🤣🤣
Inside Job. Same Owners.
Maybe, but he seems to think we are liberated now.
From a practical stand point, Waste of time/energy. Unless i’m missing something.
“And they mean enjoying it, reveling in the ecstatic glee of mass murder, and being so proud of it that they call home to their daddies and brag about it, or put up their body cam videos on TikTok.”
Maybe. For them, possibly the ‘Novelty’ of killing.
The reality? Just another day of slaughter. (ing). Kinda surreal. How ‘detached’ one can become. ‘X’ number to kill. Efficiency is the key.
NEVER killed another person. Hope i NEVER will. Highly unlikely, kill/be killed is gonna sneak up on most of Us.
Shit Happens.
The author presumes that these fights, such as what is occurring in the middle east, are our fights. They are not! We should fight in our own backyard, while leaving the rest of the world to fight their battles. Under the author’s formula my kids are cannon fodder. No way! Leave my kids alone. The reason we are in such an awful state is the neverending wars fought over the last 30 years.
The fact that these statements are true is going to “upset” a few miscreants that will insist Israel isn’t part of the West. This is because, they don’t want to share their inflated egos with anyone that lives with western ideals that may not be in their view of the western hemisphere. That attitude is simply a manifestation of the current “I’m better than you” syndrome. Deadly in and of itself!
OK. I’m willing to accept that. If we (USA) are attacked we would likely do something similar. Reportedly Custer once said before attacking a Native encampment “Nits breed fleas kill them all.”
What I’m not able to accept is the hypocrisy of saying “We are working with them to avoid civilian slaughter” whilst providing the means to do it at taxpayer expense. Obviously it would be quite possible to say, “If you do not get a lot more precise in your targeting by day X we stop sending you bombs.”
Every Gaul wants to be a Roman. It is a poor Roman who wants to be a Gaul.
