One thing that I haven’t really seen anyone mention yet is how fucking creepy the “(on our side of the ledger)” part is. Dividing global conflict into different sides of the same ledger gives off really rancid vibes.

Unbelievable arrogance. None of these people have any idea how these weapons work but they want their grubby little fingers on the button.

Violent hegemony is the solution to every problem because when all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
