所谓的“两败俱伤”是权力者的算盘,而平民是唯一的筹码The 'Mutual Destruction' Myth: Power Players Gamble, Civilians Pay
战争的“死局”是统治者的博弈,而平民的死亡是这种博弈的默认成本。
The 'deadlock' of war is a game for rulers; civilian death is the default cost of that game.
这位所谓的“技术顾问”用一种近乎天真的语气在谈论一个“game”。在他口中,这场战争变成了某种经济与基础设施的损耗计算:因为双方都会被摧毁,所以这很“stupid”,所以应该停止。这就是典型的 masculine-centric narrative(男性中心叙事)——将真实的血肉之躯抽象为统计学上的“损耗”,将国家的存亡简化为一场关于资源和技术(如 AI 引导无人机、喷气发动机)的对赌。
The horror is not that 'nobody will win,' but that the cost of this 'deadlock' is borne entirely by those who never signed up for the game. When he suggests evacuating the elderly because the energy grid might collapse, he is describing structural violence as a mere technical glitch. The 'mutual destruction' he fears is the destruction of the state's assets and the rulers' prestige, not the lived reality of the millions of civilians who are treated as collateral damage in this existential war between two masculine egos.
