Following the Russian incursion into Ukraine, shock and awe is back.

This time it's shock and awe in the British MSM, and not in downtown Baghdad, that Putin would dare to invade the Ukraine after 8 years of Ukranian shelling of the Eastern provinces. The shock and awe in the British media is palpable as the redtops run covers comparing Putin to Hitler and calling him 'mad as a box of frogs', basically recycling what they used to say about Boris.

There's not been so much shock and awe in the UK MSM since Sir Jimmy 'now then, now then' Saville was outed as a peado.

Back at the start of the illegal Iraq war, we enjoyed watching the pyrotechnic displays of US weaponry as a world superpower pummeled a third world nation in an awesome show of strength that boosted the profits of the US defense industry to shocking levels.

Something only recently surpassed by big pharma's profits from mandatory COVID vaccinations and interminable booster shots. But there does not seem to be much shock and awe about that.
