Also:
This is an insane take. Hegseth is (as he often does) doing a variation on the Roman / Latin adage “Si vis pacem, para bellum” (If you want peace, prepare for war). It’s a very common & popular military concept & it has nothing to do with Orwell nor fictional fascist governments. https://t.co/H8lsRZV91d
