He wants to kill everyone he can before he dies.
He will sacrifice people foolish enough to break the law in his name to eradicate Real Americans.
He doesn’t care. The majority of the boomer generation feels the same way.
The world will improve significantly when the wealth hoarding boomers just finish dying off.
Protect yourself in the meantime. Stay armed. Stay alert.
My feeling is he wants:
- A clear, memorable legacy
- The "fun" and power of war, with literal life and death at his hands
- A war to go past his 4 years so he can justify staying in, probably without an election.
Whatever he wants it's bad

It would improve without humans, too.
Every young generation feels like that. Every single one before yours felt the same. :)
Its actually not about generations being different, we are the same. You may be 20, I may be 50, we still want the same things.
Doubtful. The boomers are uniquely self serving as a group and have a sort of cruelty brain rot bug that may or may not be lead poisoning.
Many are obsessed with entrenching themselves within institutions, creating a poor work life balance (while blaming the rest of us for not sacrificing as much) leading to fragile interpersonal relationships that are centered around 'keeping up with the Joneses' rather than creating a meaningful sense of community.
Most younger generations blame boomers for having a good life and then promptly shutting the door in their children's faces.
We have survived 500,000 years as a species because past generations cared about the world they left behind for their descendants. Boomers, instead, are collectively focussed on enriching themselves by putting our future at risk as collateral.
As a generation, they will not be remembered well. Many of us wish they would simply step aside so we can fix the mess they've propogated.
Tl;dr: There is more to this than the usual young vs old dynamic.

Thinking he was afraid to TACO again. Whatever the case, it's all dumb.
I think the saddest part about these WW3 memes is that it really does feel like the people making them only care about the conflict being engineered in the Middle East by Trump and Natanyahu because there's a chance that it might negatively impact their own lives. The implication is that as long as this doesn't actually turn into WW3 (it won't, Jesus Christ please learn some basic history) it's fine and a bunch of people getting killed by bombs is missiles is OK as long as they're brown and way over there.
I feel like you're reading a lot into this and start with a false premise. Both war and WW3 can be bad, WW3 is just more memeable
Yeah buddy we got starving kids in our country that people don't care about. Take a moment and process that.
Why you ask because the rich assholes set up the system so nobody gets rich doing "the right thing".
Why does everyone need to be rich you ask?
So they can pay to not be effected by the failings of the "greatest country in the world" society.
Perhaps there is an element of that but I think many people are bracing for a repeat of the Iraq weapons of mass destruction scenario so they're starting early with using humor as a coping mechanism.
Many also feel that Israel's current government is a fascist genocidal regime that very likely will be the instigator of WW3. Which should be a lesson to humanity in general on fascism as those that face the greatest trauma (as they did in WW2) are often more open to the extremes of nationalism and ethnic cleansing.
Your final sentence has pretty much been american military policy for the last few decades.
Don't start a major global conflict and kill mostly brown people of a different culuture and religion and we will get away with it.
Realistically there is absolutely nothing any of us can do to stop this. Anyone who isn't an arsehole is constantly appalled and sickened by the constant conflict created by the usual sad little psychopathic narcissists.
About all we have left is black humour expressed as memes. You can't stay constantly anxious about it or you go mad, and at this point humour is basically self-preservation.
You're probably right in some cases, but I think it's more of a way of people dealing with their disbelief that it's come to this. There's a lot of ways to process the current insanity; dark humour is possibly the most accessible though.
