The US has waged a number of them: in Afghanistan during the 1980s, in Israel during the 1970s, and in Southern Africa both decades. In all cases it wanted fast victories, because that best served US interests 2359

The fascists can’t be deterred by credible threats of consequences, but some enablers can. The sort that takes the path of least resistance, defers to power, or acts out of fear might enable less if they worry about consequences. 612429
