Norman Solomon, with a relentless finger-pointing to the heart of the American warfare complex, presents a scathing critique of U.S. political leaders and the military-industrial establishment, painting them as out of touch with the common folk. His sarcastic tone is dripping with condescension, as he portrays politicians and journalists as war-mongering automatons, ‘ignoring’ the human cost of endless conflict. Solomon’s dig at ‘Democratic leaders’ is nothing short of a sneer, implying their blind support for Trumpism is just a mask for their love of the warfare state. His thinly-veiled jabs at the likes of Zuckerberg and Bezos for their craven pursuit of government contracts are laced with the kind of derision that could only come from someone who clearly believes these tech titans are more war profiteers than innovators. The author’s mocking of Biden’s supposed ‘shift away from war’ is a masterstroke of讽刺，highlighting the contradiction between the talk and the action. Solomon’s piece is a masterclass in critical analysis, wrapped in a cloak of sarcasm that leaves the reader feeling as though they’re watching a play performed by actors who know they’re not being taken seriously.
