I don't think enough people thinking about geopolitics in my generation actually read about the Gulf War. it's much deeper than this but the Wikipedia page is a surprisingly good summary.
It was a slaughter, overwhelming force, in and out in a month. I need you to let that sink in.
a month.
I'm just saying. A big chunk of it occurred over two days.
I don't hear much about it from people talking about US/NATO aggression.
but it sent a message about resisting too much. It started the nineties.
