“I think the 20th century reaches its highest expression on the highway. Everything is there: the speed and violence of our age; the strange love affair with the machine, with its own death” GOAT
an interview between the interviewer (o’brien) and a veteran of the us-iran war (stephens) in the 2040s Stephens: That was the year they nuked Tehran and Mashhad. O'Brien: 2045? Stephens: I was in the desert … When the Russians pulled out, some of the guys I was fighting with thought it would be an easy win, but at that point it just all collapsed. O'Brien: What happened? Stephens: The ‘mericans had already poisoned the water in the major cities, defoliated the whole northeast, so it was just these huge caravans of refugees trying to flee. Bomb strikes raining down on them. Watching that fucked me up ... O'Brien: They were bombing refugees? The US Air Force? Stephens: What that fucking empire did to that country no one should ever forget. O'Brien: The US defoliated northeast Iran? The area under US control? Stephens: Yeah, control was the running joke. O'Brien: Where were you based? Stephens: My unit was in the desert, Dasht-e Kavit.
