This isn't the civil war stage. These deployments are to 1) normalize a military dictatorship and 2) force the antifascist non-loyalists to resign; from disgust of being pulled away from their families, day jobs, and lives to be used as political pawns.
All of project 2025 is about purging antifascist non-loyalists from every government institution. There's a much greater likelihood that the dictatorship and domestic authoritarianism will succeed when the dictatorship isn't being sabotaged by real patriots from within.
Need General's and commanders to step up. Defend the constitution, not the orange mango loser
I have been wondering what the fuck the military leaders have been doing this whole time. I thought they had honour and shit, and cared about the idea of America. They literally signed up to fight for it.
Anyway, not American but hoping those folk have a come-to-Jesus moment soon…
Generations of "service guarantees socialistic benefits equivalent to every other first world country" led to people overwhelmingly joining for personal gain, instead of "service" or "sacrifice".
That makes sense since all I ever hear about is how well veterans are treated. Who wouldn’t want in?!
Especially when your only alternative is poverty or medical/education debt.
Also the Trump admin have been hard at work implementing Project2025 from day 1, which involved purging all of the patriot military brass they possibly can. The average US general likely never even contemplated the thought of staging a domestic coup their entire careers, then they got canned; the ones that remain are probably wondering how they could possibly pull off a coup when the forces they oversee contain a significant number of brainwashed individuals.
The American MIC may simply be too large, distributed, and bureaucratic for any type of coup to occur.
I'd imagine if they're going to act then they're waiting for some line to be crossed.
Not sure where that line would be but.
Maybe a violent Insurrection trying to kill Congress and steal the country?
Oh yeah...
There is no line.
Hence the if.
And maybe trump was actually protecting people when he was balls deep in kindergarteners.
Some shit is such nonsense that even hypothesisizing is giving unwarranted credibility
Alrighty then.
fucking lol
A civil war implies two sides at war.
This is more of a dictatorship
The political term is auto-coup.
A government in power overthrowing the system that got them to power to hold on to their position.
Whites aren’t getting shot yet
So that's what he meant by America First. Removing troops from all over the world to deploy them against his own people.
The tyranny, authoritarianism, fascism, it's all there clear as day. But I bet the media will pontificate over trees until nobody sees the forest anymore.
US Troop Deployment Increases In Country
Oh hey I've seen this episode before.
How are 35,000 people actually okay with doing this... :(
Least Successful Mission Ever
I mean Vietnam and Afghanistan are still major failures for the US as well. They clearly are not worth what is spent on them.
Taco keeps on having America punch itself in the nuts.
It's almost like it's what Putin wants.
Those are expensive, put them back!!!
And this is not full escalation yet, either. I bet there will be another «Reichstag fire», very soon.
Guess it's time for another surge
