Reminds me of Apocalypse Now where colonel Kurtz explains the US will lose because in their minds they aren't fighting a war in Vietnam they're still in America.
I realize nobody actually watches that movie anymore but I have and everything still fits.
I was too young to see the original release in a movie theater and was all the more exited to catch up on this when the Final Cut was released. Truly a remarkable and timeless piece of cinema. The 4K Dolby Atmos/Vision version is also highly recommendable if you've never seen this gem.
