“The carbon footprint is such a cliche and pop culture way to look at things. The environmental impact of this war, and any war, is staggering.
We are taking planes, ships, and ground vehicles half way around the world to blow up buildings that required natural resources to build. Then we’re rebuilding them in inefficient western style ways. Then hanging around angering the locals to the point that they blow something up. Which we then have to rebuild again, and blow something of theirs up to get back at them.
The whole country is like a black hole for natural resources.
And that’s not even mentioning the human cost.”
