Mass murder of civilians truly started with the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It made the act acceptable as an act of war. State terrorism was already familiar from the Nazis onward, but it has mostly been hidden within the proxy war system and officially disowned. But now a satellite is in charge and allowed state terrorism, it shows clearly the quick decline of Western power.
I don’t know if the proper word is “decline” in this context. Considering all the geopolitical aspects—internal and external—especially the rise of peer or even superior powers (in some crucial aspects), AND the cancerous process of debilitation witnessed across the collective West, a more fitting word for this juncture could be “degeneracy”. Moral, political and economic, as Western capitalism plummets due to its own anarchic centrifugal forces now unleashed by its incurable structural contradictions, still masked by soft power (the cultural ambit) but losing credibility by the day.
