8 days agoMy favorite genre of journalism: other countries’ journalists writing about the US the same way the US writes about their countries. I’m just sad they didn’t dredge up some “America expert” who’s never been to the US and doesn’t speak English to call for mass balkanization of the country followed by conspiracy theory screeds for the extra flavor.
Who could’ve guessed that trying to invade the world’s most infamously uninvadeable region could’ve ended poorly for a combatant that has a smaller military than its opponent and has been having major logistics issues?
Fortunately for all involved it’s not like there was any historical precedent for this being a bad idea.
