War has changed.

It's no longer about ideals, resources or nationalities.

Its a neverending celebration of wrongdoing; governments, businesses and journalists prematurely take a side depending on what they hear from the other and proceed to celebrate that faction and overlook the blood on its hands. To them, there's no grey: just black and white.

War has changed.

Companies ban services, goods and funding to countries, just so they can virtue signal in spite of all the distrust they'll create. Entertainment people rig tournaments in favour of the country whom the government has sided with and news outlets are dedicated to propaganda openly demonising entire nations rather than the ones at the top responsible. The glorification of war, and those who are as guilty as their enemies, has become a well-oiled machine. All in the span of 5 months.

War has changed.

When the West applies its woke mentalities to the battlefield... When people who push far-left ideologies interfere with matters that should've never concerned them... When we dedicate our man-power to those who don't need it, rather than those who do...

War becomes routine.
