   Nietzsche once said it's more dangerous for a country to win a war than to lose one, and there's no better description of how the US lost its mind after WWII

   Also applies to Israel after 1967

     There are few things as dangerous as being powerful and feeling vulnerable.

     Agreed on both counts. And both interpretations relevant to Israel post-1967 imo.

     @inthehands he was more talking about how winning leads to arrogance and a lack of introspection and sows the seeds for your eventual downfall, while losing can force you to face up to your faults and then overcome them, but this is also very true and I think explains why the police are so bloodthirsty
