Whatever it is you're thinking of there, that makes it seem obvious to you that this is a batshit expectation...is the kind of thing I'm talking about when I use the term "human nature". You indicate just in this sentence that you think it's predictive enough to consider a third party stupid or insane just for having expectations contrary to whatever that is.
Why it would be insane to expect populace already tired of war to support gov that want them to stay in war and is incompetent to boot. Even brightest minds of our era can't grap why it would be insane.I give you a hint though, it's not because of human nature, but merely because people aren't as foolish as incompetent politicians imagine them to be.
That, right there, is a comment on human nature.
