The Iraq war was to keep us safe. It failed. It was based on lies.

The utter failure of the last war means they have to double down now. This is about "the world" and "genocide". The stakes have to increase to put fear into the populace.

We know these rules. Kill people to stop genocide. Keep secrets for transparency. Kill citizens to protect them.

First destroy the village to save it. Then repeat until the entire world is saved, too.
