“we have always been at war with Eastasia”


The phrase noted is from the book 1984 by George Orwell.

It is a mythical country that the war always was being fought and we were always winning even though it had been going on forever.

East Asia that you mention is confusing the passage with an actual geographical location....not the one written about in the year 1946.

If it began in 1993, it has been ongoing for 20 years.

The legacy war on terror warriors get no support from above but can’t be fired
