      Except I'm pretty sure that one presupposes the stick to be visible, sort of like the good cop-bad cop game. "See, we're all nice and friendly - but remember, if we want to, we can crush you any time we want. Don't make us want to."

      @KaiHenningsen you don't want to share your cards with the enemy. Besides, the stick is just there to distract from the hidden gun. We're playing for keeps in the big leagues. Last thing you want to do is play fair.

      @@Rawkit_Surgeon The saying with the big stick is typically applied to nations who just so happen to have the biggest stick, or at least in the specific context. They don't *_need_* to hide the stick.
      Wikipedia writes _Big stick ideology, big stick diplomacy, big stick philosophy, or big stick policy was a political approach used by the 26th president of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt. The terms are derived from an aphorism which Roosevelt often said: "speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far".[1] The American press during his time, as well as many modern historians today, used the term "big stick" to describe the foreign policy positions during his administration. Roosevelt described his style of foreign policy as "the exercise of intelligent forethought and of decisive action sufficiently far in advance of any likely crisis".[2] As practiced by Roosevelt, big stick diplomacy had five components. First, it was essential to possess serious military capability that would force the adversary to pay close attention. At the time that meant a world-class navy; Roosevelt never had a large army at his disposal. The other qualities were to act justly toward other nations, never to bluff, to strike only when prepared to strike hard, and to be willing to allow the adversary to save face in defeat.[3]_

      Modern war. Ancient wars make it look like Tuesday. I mean, it's still hell, but it's the same kind of hell many animals experience, too. It's not special. Modern war is special.
      It's just like, trying to kill Jews isn't (unfortunately) special, it has been done again on and off for at least 2000 years. The holocaust, on the other hand, was special - because of its horrific effectiveness. That is what made it unprecedented. That is what made WWI so horrible. That is why global warming is such a massive problem. Because we are so horribly effective at destruction today.

      @@KaiHenningsen meh...i understand your premise...but war today isn't close to wars of yesterday. you can kill a man from 100m out and farther and not even know anything more about him (that's just regular infantry grunt, nevermind dropped bombs, or artillery). in the wars you describe from the past. you had to be in his personal space, look him in the eye, maybe even smell his morning meal on his breath as you killed him, and your friends killed his and vice versa. to the tune of thousands and tens of thousands dying that way, in a single day, on a single battlefield (obviously I'm refrencing the larger of the battles in history as not all involved tens of thousands at a time, but their premise was the same...face to face).

    • @KaiHenningsen
      @KaiHenningsen 4 дня назад

      @ Sure, but my point was, you see very ancient-war-like behavior in animal species (typically insects). In that respect, those were not special. Modern war is special in the way that it involves not just killing a few thousands, but killing millions. There is horror, and then there is something that makes that horror seem harmless in comparison. And we've grown far too good at producing these mega-horrors.
