A Swiss war where you opt out and continue to make money from all the participants.
A US war where you get some bombs dropped one day on an island of yours about two and a half thousand miles away from the mainland but you do send troops eventually.
A UK style war where you get bombed quite regularly. Many people have stories of going to work in the morning to find their business reduced to rubble or going home and finding your home missing.
The French style of war where you are bombed by both sides and you have to live with the occupying forces for several years. You don't know who to support because you don't know who is going to win.
The Russian style of war where you lose more people than everyone else put together and where a city might survive an 872 day siege.
Civil wars are in a different category. Brother kills brother and the wounds are never healed.
Good reply. I haven’t seen the movie but OP did a good job of describing it, such that it does not resemble any city in America today. Which I think sounds like the point of the movie and inadvertently OP’s post: careful what we wish for. We have the power to determine the outcomes we want from the ground up but it takes clear and critical thinking and reason, not spiralling despair and misery from being perpetually pissed.
The Polish style of war where 2 or 3 enemies invade your country in order to battle against each other. You have to survive 6 to 123 years at what point they’re exhausted enough so you can win the war.
I have in my mind a scale to calibrate wars by:

Aside from the hanging corpses how is this different from American cities today??? The war is already underway.
Maybe spend less time online

The corpses are just laying down instead of hanging.
Commenting for future reference, because I am loving this scale. Well done.
Ima meme this later. Great observation.
