War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength.

    No, this actually works, this is actually a legitimate strategy. They're just morons who don't understand how it works.

    When was the last time Switzerland actively made first strikes against countries not violating your territory?

    These don't feel equivalent.

    What is comical is that the Trump administration thinks any of this is new. The us is always shooting at someone.

    He definitely read that line in a book somewhere and went "hell yeah" instead of being horrified (the author's likely intent)

    It's from George Orwell's book 1984 so he definitely listened to the audio book and said, "I wanna be like that!"

    Edit: I was mistaken. The quote from 1984 is "war is peace." It's similar though.

    1984, and a bunch of fascist dystopian writing.

    It's a riff off the sign above German concentration camps gates.

    Arbeit macht frei "work sets you free"

    I would honestly love to know which moron thought that was a good use of time and money and why.

    They could have swapped the words around. Rough Spear. Midnight Rider. Southern Hammer.

    They chose not to.

    I remember when the original name for the invasion of Iraq was "Operation Iraqi Liberation" until somebody decided that was a little too obvious an acronym.

    Yeah, but pretty much anything is slang for some sort of sexual activity these days.

    So this one isn't a double entendre? Just plain ol' PTS(D?)?

    Usually operation names are a bit cleverer than that so I'm guessing he came up with those names himself.

    Also is a member of the international community I can safely assure you that no one is worried about trump's "business" skills.

    Operation spitroast is starting! The double shaft is out! I repeat, he double shaft is out! And they're gonna do until the bubble pops and the economy relaxes! There's going to be a lot of white stuff all over the place in a big big mess!
