Newsweek's 2025 Strike List: Early Edition?
Newsweek's recent article, titled 'List of Regions Where US Has Carried Out Strikes In 2025,' serves as a truly perplexing peek into the future of American foreign policy, or perhaps just a remarkable editorial slip-up from 2018. The listed URL seems to have locked itself in a peculiar time warp, pointing to an article from 2018 (original URL:
newsweek.com/list-regions-where-us-carried-out-strikes-2018-nigeria-809831), not 2025. It appears the projection of endless war is so integral to US policy, the media can just fast-forward the headlines by several years and barely break stride. This isn't just about a typo; it’s about the normalization of perpetual military engagement. The fact that an article about future strikes could even be
conceived, let alone published, highlights a deeply ingrained acceptance of constant intervention. Newsweek's accidental glimpse into 2025—which one assumes would feature much of the same geography—underscores how little the script changes, just the year on the calendar. How many regions will find themselves on this 'strike list' before the press starts asking harder questions?
