"Keep up, Jane," you might be thinking right now.  "The real threat of 
war is coming from Ukraine, not the Middle East."  That's not true.  Hey, 
I'm a war correspondent.  Surely I should know a "war" when I see one.  
And what is the main difference between victory and defeat in any war?  
Courage.  
     Let's review:
    
 It took GWB's "Coalition of the Willing" almost a decade to subdue 
Iraq.  Even so, that mission was never accomplished.  Not really.  I 
know.  I was there.
     Now let's talk about Afghanistan, the graveyard of empires.  You gotta hate the Taliban -- but at least they fought back.
    
 Iran?  Lebanon?  Syria?  These countries don't take no shite.  I've been there 
too, met Hezbollah fighters, even met President Assad himself.  Been all
 over Iran.  These are people who fight back.  They protect their 
families.  They protect their homes.  They protect their countries, 
their cultures, their children.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaWA9pweXFc
    
 I've spent years trying to get into Yemen, another country made of 
brave people who fight back against insanely incredible odds.  "Give me 
liberty or give me death!"
    
 And then there's America.  Yep, now I'm a war correspondent here too.  What a
 joke.  Big Tech, Big Pharma and their Evil Globalist Bastard allies 
have already won their sleazy war on America -- without even firing a 
shot.  "Move along, there's nothing to report here."  
     Americans have voluntarily been cowering timidly in lock-down and shutting down their businesses and inoculating their children with experimental drugs for almost two years now while Dr. 
Fasci happily toys with our lives and Bill Gates plots our de-population
 like they were Lyutsifer Safin and his mad scientist cohort in No Time to Die.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vw2FOYjCz38
    
 You gotta give people in the Middle East snaps for fighting back 
against wave after wave of invasion.  But Americans?  We'd rather give 
it up to Big Tech and Big Pharma than possibly risk even the thought of 
missing our cat videos, mussing our fade or breaking a nail.  https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2022/02/04/we-are-all-ensnared-in-the-elites-web/
Being a war correspondent in America is freaking hard work. Who wants to cover a debacle, a rout? Not me. I don't even get to wear my flak jacket.
