RE: I will unmake you

An indoctrinated citizen almost longs for slavery. At last rid of the tedious mental labour, he becomes the greatest admirer of the ‘leader’, who gives everything to pave the path for him. This also includes the annexation of Greenland, the incorporation of the Panama Canal, the bombing of Iran and the development of the Gaza Strip into a tourist neighbourhood. As you rightly point out, trade wars are not wars at all, but balm for the maltreated soul.
