Actually, it's an observation of American foreign policy in general and post Cold War policy in particular. At some point we've forgotten how to play the game much to our detriment.
In the past there would be debate & discussion before dropping MOABs on a foreign country.
Really? What "past" would this be?
(hint: bunker-busting bombs have only been around since WWII, and the specific sort of weapons you're talking about have only been around for the last decade or two).
Just like there used to be a pause to reflect before pepper spraying seated protesters.
Same here, and again I do not know to what "past" you refer, as pepper-spray is a fairly recent development.
If you want to talk about the equivalent weapons and similar (or more extreme) tactics in the days before World War II
The Tulsa race riot was a large-scale racially motivated conflict, May 31 - June 1st 1921, between the white and black communities of Tulsa, Oklahoma, in which the wealthiest African-American community in the United States, the Greenwood District also known as 'The Negro Wall St' [1] was burned to the ground.
