WW3: Ignition

We have spent long years in this country without seeing firsthand what war does. Pearl Harbor and 9/11 do not compare to Hitler's Garden of Ruins or W's Shock and Awe or what the Enola Gay shit on Japan.  

I've been thinking about this a lot lately.

If I was the Great Grand Vile Dictator of All and Everything, this is how I'd take down the "Most Powerful Country in the World." 

Biding Time--Wait and Watch. Let them puff themselves up for a few decades. Let them piss everyone off and lose allies with their endless smug. Get them strung out on my country's exports. While this is going on...I wait. And watch.

While they ripen with overconfidence and decades of ease...

I show their plebian what its leadership looks like to me. A book, a film, a voice, all of which multiply and create a small pop counterculture which is loud and impossible to ignore. With clever word and visual advertisements, I'd encourage protest rhetoric and collect fans who maybe wouldn't mind watching my army walk in and depose the leadership, then fund their podcasts. I'd have a think tank full of anthropologists studying all of this for exploitable factors and then (with the help of a professional marketing team) reach the rest of the plebes, even the hardcore patriots. If I can get a film company on my team...or a tech company, I've won. My word will be bigger than theirs, and more will want it. 

This will make the leadership retaliate by being even more smug and their rhetoric will give me ammunition which I will then turn on them by painting it unfavorably to my people both here and abroad. I will paint them as psychotic Neanderthals. Those who won't go for my view, I ply with sex. If I make the ones who don't agree with me look ugly and dangerous, they'll stop getting laid. Take their sex and they'll see it my way to get sex again. I also make cartoons and music and merchandise for their children and young adults. They will buy, and I have won. 

The game is still afoot but close to the end--while I've done the above, I've also set up drug dealing banana republics to recruit, addict, and ignite on command. After ten years or so they'd have a million of their own neighborhoods set up in the enemy country, all full of people happily controlled by drugs. Get the junkies on my side and make them also feel like this is their fight and commit violent crimes--cannon fodder is always needed. The news media will report the chaos I've caused and do the work of demoralizing its people for me. 

On Ignition Day, the attacks would be instant and swift and simultaneous--a million cartel republics in a million neighborhoods igniting like a fucking cluster nuke--strive for 100 million dead in 72 hours. 

If I can't get that I will still get carnage on the level that the target country's military will be forced to reckon with the instant anarchic abandon I've caused. While they're busy, I would slide in my, and my allies' respectively militaries. Since my enemy's balls are in a vice, they will have hell turning around and fighting my much larger military which is now landing on its shores. They have a million strong army, but I have a ten million strong army and seventy per cent--at least--of their forces are occupied with my street gangs. I should just be able to waltz right in. 

What about their allies? What allies? I took care of that already. Who wants to be friends with a twat who won't stop telling everyone how awesome they are after I've cut off their arms and their balls? 

Fuck me. This is goddamn creepy. Do I think it'll happen? I think it's already happening but with mitigating factors involved. What really bugs me is that if I know this, the leadership here knows it, and what if they know things are too far gone to win? 

They'd sell.

To me. 

That's enough dystopian stuff for one day.
