This fucking guy is every frat house date rapist I knew in university.
It's not endless. They just don't know when it's going to end. But don't worry, Trump has assured everyone that they have enough munitions stockpiled to fight forever. Not that they're going to. Because it's not an endless war. It's just... open-ended.
Having clear objectives is a typical liberal mindset /s
Ergh, stupid LIEberals, you clearly can't have a forever war without the time dilation created by the troops travelling at near speed of light to cover vast distances between warzones. This war will end when the next one starts, in two weeks, when it's clear this one hasn't stopped everyone demanding the Epstein files.
There’s a strong parallel to Ukraine here.
Initially we’ll have regime change in a few days. Earlier today it became 3-4 weeks. Now it’s open ended.
And now they’re saying they’re planning bigger bombings.
This whole thing was a bad idea.
