Honestly, a lot of that is also popular here. Many people think like the natsec people you always mention. It's ironic because it feels like the sidebar is actually the solution.

It is the solution, but we've gotten a large influx of people from NCD (NonCredibleDefense) where they unironically and gleefully call for murdering millions of civilians from countries we don't like, so the Overton window here has shifted to somewhere between Dick Cheney and some random guy who yells racial slurs at people in his Call of Duty lobby.
