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.

    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.

    We have always been at war with Eurasia

      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.

        "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.”

        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.

        The state of America right now proves to me most Americans have not read 1984.
