Right, they’re using woke logic to shield themselves from any criticism. Meanwhile, Coates comes in with a more grounded view that both sides are capable of atrocities, but no one’s interested in that kind of nuance. Everything’s about binary arguments now—good vs. evil, black vs. white. It’s exhausting.

because nuance doesn’t sell weapons or win votes. Look at Biden’s foreign policy—worse than Bush’s, some would argue. At least with Iraq, we were pretending to nation-build. Now? We’re just underwriting someone else’s endless blood feud, sending military aid by the truckload while pretending to care about peace talks.

That’s the key difference, right? The Iraq and Afghanistan wars were bad, sure, but we weren’t actively trying to wipe entire populations off the map. Now, we’re seeing something far more sinister—an endless conflict where destruction isn’t just a byproduct, it feels like the end goal. It’s a much darker place to be morally.

Oh, it’s way darker. And the political class just rolls along, acting like they care about civilian casualties while ensuring the weapons pipeline never slows. And where are the liberals? Fawning over washed-up Republican “national security experts” who write op-eds about how Trump is an existential threat, but never talking about how they’re complicit in all of this.

confronting their own complicity would require actual self-reflection. It’s easier to just cling to those tired narratives about Trump being the boogeyman, while ignoring the fact that the Democrats are just as entrenched in these wars. Trump, for all his bluster, actually appealed to some Muslim voters, which is something the left can’t even fathom.
