      Right, but he just goes inside and the hornets buzz around impotently, then he is hung over the next morning and pisses on the knocked down hornets nest and goes about his day never giving another thought about it.

    I guess one of the advantages of having literally zero plans other then “kill the current bad guy” is that you can just stop whenever you want and declare victory.

    I don’t talk to my friends this casually.

    If I said “very complete, pretty much” I’m pretty sure they’d bring me to the hospital for a stroke.

      No kidding, my entire life all I’ve seen is republican presidents take us into stupid ass wars.

      Why does anybody believe any of these people when they say they want to keep us out of wars?

      We won’t be sending in ground troops this time. So there can’t possibly be a quagmire like we had in Iraq or Afghanistan. And Trump promised money to any ship that gets attacked in the Straight of Hormuz (which I’m more than confident that he’s good for) so trade will pick back up again as soon as the smoke clears.

      Honestly, I think he did a heck of a job and I’m excited to see what kind of incredible progress he can achieve for American foreign policy in Cuba next.

    The Party said that Oceania had never been in alliance with Eurasia. He, Winston Smith, knew that Oceania had been in alliance with Eurasia as short a time as four years ago. But where did that knowledge exist? Only in his own consciousness, which in any case must soon be annihilated. And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed -if all records told the same tale – then the lie passed into history and became truth. ‘Who controls the past,’ ran the Party slogan, ‘controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.’ And yet the past, though of its nature alterable, never had been altered. Whatever was true now was true from everlasting to everlasting. It was quite simple. All that was needed was an unending series of victories over your own memory. ‘Reality control’, they called it: in Newspeak, ‘doublethink’

      His goal is to foment Iranian terrorist cells to attack on US soil, thus giving the pretext this regime was looking for to institute martial law or cancel midterms all together.

      Also his other goal was to do anything Israel wanted so they don’t release all the kompromat of Trump raping children.

    So what did we accomplish?

    …What did we go in to accomplish, for that matter?

    I’m not talking about distractions, that’s fine to discuss, but as far as I’m aware, I’ve not heard any justification for why we went in and that we’ve reached any objectives.

    “We have a plan that I think is going to be fantastic. It’s going to be released fairly soon.”
    - Trump discussing his health care plan in 2017
