Why are the US’s/Israeli military constantly doing decapitation strikes now? Maybe its survivorship bias (literally) or I’m just misinformed, but I feel like even 10-20 years ago the leader would be the last thing to go, rather than the first (or in some case, only. As in the kidnapping of Maduro)
I cannot say if this is a newer trend, or if its really a full trend vs just 2 points, at all vs just being something flashy, or standard procedure, but if I had to guess, and this is novel it might be great man theory and hoping to quickly demoralize the nation?
Not like decapitation strikes aren’t a type of strategy. But I agree, it does seem odd in the face of how things used to go when the empire was more “imperious”.
I think we can probably blame man-child tech oligarchs and their pet AIs for this as well, somehow.
Part of me wants to believe that the ghouls at the top believe so much in great man theory and love huffing their own fumes; that they think if their enemy were to do the same to them, everything would fall apart without their superhuman charisma, project management capabilities, and business acumen.
Its a dying empire riddled with sycophants all sucking each other off probably speckled with a few remaining competent generals who have to fight tooth and nail to gather military resources for any operation other than ones that help defend the zionist entity.
Part of me wants to believe that, part of me fears that it’s closer to the truth than I’d believe, and yet another part of me fears that it’s further, too.
