It says so at the end I believe. But I understand your point. I wasn't really thinking of it as just a showcase of a process.
I suppose it's just me coming from a place of some western-brained person looking at this video and going "well this is all just propaganda, nothing changed they just put up a sign."
I feel it comes across as hokey and fake rather than empowering to the vast majority of less-communally-inclined people in the West.
Excuse me though, I have a lot of very reactionary people in my life, so I'm constantly on the lookout for ways to inform people of how things work in other countries that they just assume are "authoritarian hellholes" in easy to understand ways.
It's sometimes hard for me to get my brain out of agitprop mode 😅
Not like decapitation strikes aren't a type of strategy. But I agree, it does seem odd in the face of how things used to go when the empire was more "imperious".
I think we can probably blame man-child tech oligarchs and their pet AIs for this as well, somehow.
Part of me wants to believe that the ghouls at the top believe so much in great man theory and love huffing their own fumes; that they think if their enemy were to do the same to them, everything would fall apart without their superhuman charisma, project management capabilities, and business acumen.
Its a dying empire riddled with sycophants all sucking each other off probably speckled with a few remaining competent generals who have to fight tooth and nail to gather military resources for any operation other than ones that help defend the zionist entity.
Part of me wants to believe that, part of me fears that it's closer to the truth than I'd believe, and yet another part of me fears that it's further, too.
