Feels different than Iraq. In 2001-03 everyone was in for whatever and it was blasphemy to say the war was unjust or ill advised. Everyone was ready to enlist.

People don’t want to die for Israel and they don’t want their kids to. Even the die hard MAGA aren’t into it. They can’t sell dead troops.

@hacks4pancakes Honestly feels a lot more like Desert Storm than the Iraq invasion. Back then I would have thought that restoring the Kuwaiti monarchy to power would have been a hard sell politically, but the power of a constant drumbeat of war propaganda surprised me.
