When you go to war with anyone in the whole wide world, more civilians will die than soldiers.

Does not look so clear to me today, wars like Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Gaza are not the normal. In Ukraine, well below 25% of the military deaths. In Nagorno-Karabakh, completely marginal. Iraq-Iran, below 1:1. Soviets in Afganistan, Russians in Chechenia, US in Iraq, something between 1:1 and 5:1 looks plausible. In conflicts that are more a civil war, varied and unclear.

Calling it lame is rather shameless. You start a war of aggression, on your own terms and schedule, from a position of strength and near total security, and you immediately fuck up a school then lie until the video surfaces, like some desperate, barely functional shithole. Don't know, maybe you are consistent, but for americans in general, there is a gap between reputation expected and actual conduct (targeting, behaviour afterwards, cynical excuses); very grating considering the advantages the US has.

He certainly is more than a troll, and a sophisticated activist if we take people you mentioned for comparison. His actions are coherent, rather straightforward.

what do we do with this power?

I imagine you crave novelty, but I'm afraid it will only be the usual, make some poor country more miserable, claim right to do whatever but take no responsibility for the outcomes. Maybe try to hold out until strikes on AI labs irresponsibly trying to build models that undercut US labs.
