Indeed, and that also should tell you how much value members of the armed forces really place on their pledge to uphold the Constitution.
If they followed the USMJ’s rule on not obeying illegal orders, none of them would have agreed to attack boats in the Caribbean, much less participated in this coup in Venezuela.
I guess the consolation is that their heads will roll in a few years after the Trump regime is toppled and they all get tried for what they did.
This is why people who dismiss an invasion of Greenland/Canada/Mexico are naive. He’s openly threatened all 3.
I’m expecting Greenland->Canada->Mexico->don’t know.
They will attack Greenland/Denmark first, as a way to figure out what actually happens within NATO. Annexing and holding Greenland won’t be much of a problem. The population is mostly uneducated, non-military and very few.
Once they’ve seen that fuckall will happen, Canada is next. At this point they will expect a bigger push-back from whatever remains of NATO, but ultimately NATO won’t be able to do much, since Greenland will be a strong tactical defensive position in the area.
Next up is a bit of a breather while trying to calm down the Canadian people. They’ll do this by having military pressence in the biggest cities, shooting random people, withholding food, water, meds from the population. They’ll pretty much use the Israeli approach here. It’s been shown to be quite effective at deterring rebels, and the world has shown it doesn’t give half a shit about it.
Finally they’re going for Mexico. Why not take them sooner? Because annexing a bunch of brown people, making them part of the USA isn’t what the fascist base wants. They will however be needed as cheap slave labour once the world starts cutting off USA. The economy will be shit, living conditions will start to deteriorate, and slaves in the field will be needed.
I’m hoping I’m wrong about this…
I hope you’re wrong too, but I think you’ve got it exactly.
People with the intelligence and empathy to disobey orders don’t generally join the military.
Military doesn’t pay you to think. Just kill.
Sorry, but there is no end to this regime. And no heads will topple, because no politician wants to encourage people to disobey orders because of conscience (which is subjective).
Later this year Trump will use martial law to control the elections. He will use his new ICE agents, as part of that $100m recruitment campaign, to block polling locations. His new USPS postmark nonsense is to block mail in votes from counting.
He has this in the bag. There will never be another legitimate election in the US. Democracy is dead for the next few generations.
GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN
I keep seeing this - get out where? How? With what money? I can barely afford to live right now. No countries are taking in refugees from the US from what I can tell.
I appreciate the thought, but the US capitalistic machine has trapped most of the US population, by design of course.
Good point.
GET OUT IF YOU CAN WHILE YOU CAN
