President Donald Trump ominously said on Monday that the U.S. has the weaponry to fight “forever,” as the administration’s refusal to state a definitive timeline or end goals for its war on Iran sparks worries of yet another prolonged, disastrous U.S. conflict in the Middle East. In a post on Truth Social just before midnight on Tuesday, Trump said that the U.S. has a “virtually unlimited…

The US has been at war 228 out of 246 250 years since 1776

So… not technically wrong, I guess.

1776+246=2022.

Current year is 2026, BTW.

We have always been at war with Eurasia

It’s seriously worrying how much they’re treating 1984 as a playbook.

The fun thing is, most of the people I know haven’t read 1984, they have no idea what we’re in for. Oh they know its vaguely about a distopian society, but they can’t wake up each morning read the headlines and point to the exact page in that book the headline came from, so they can’t seem to see what’s coming tomorrow.

Fun. Fucking. Times.

1984 is probably the most important book I’ve ever read, and I’ve been making my way through a book at all times since I learned to read.

Less than half of Americans read a book a year

48.5 percent of adults reported having read at least one book in the past year

And my guess is the vast majority of those that are reading are mostly scooping books from booktok (literary smut) or something off the New York Times bestseller lists

"There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always— do not forget this, Winston— always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face— forever.”

So the U.S. military is running out of munitions. Interesting, interesting.

Donald Trumps can’t live forever.

That’s a weird way of saying they can’t win.

A war can’t go on without people. It’s the people who’s willing to do the bidding of trump. If they’d refuse, there would be no war. It’s quite simple, achshually.
