    It’s fascinating how they really just do say the opposite of everything.

    Trump is then planning 1000 years of peace on Chicago? (I’m confused by his “threat” of Chicago finding out why its called the department of war)

      Only sections of their bible carefully cherry picked by their leaders. Otherwise you risk independent thought.

    I think this is a nod to Russia “accidentally” sending drones into Poland.

    Suddenly article 5 gets triggered and Trump renames the department again to “the department of pacifism” - as the world rolls it’s eyes ans gets ready to detach it self even further from the US.

    This is fucking funny.

    So many people on the left were like “it’s good that we at least call things what they are now”, and now we hear this?

      Whatever he says, doesn’t change the fact the name change is better than the hypocritical ‘DO Defense’
