Aren’t they potentially lethal if you don’t bounce them off the ground? He was clearly aiming directly at her…

Wait what’s happening in Peoria, IL? (I can say that I’m from there).

Oh no.

How this all goes down might depend on who’s whispering in his ear at any given moment in time. But I’m sure there’s at least some people in the room who wouldn’t mind if LA was just wiped off the map.

I think part of the problem here is also that Trump has dementia, and is being guided by a group of advisors that probably don’t even necessarily agree with what their end goal is here (besides consolidating power).

Which leads to questions like, ā€œIf the soldiers won’t do urban LA warfare, when does the regime call in air strikes? What if the pilots won’t do it?ā€ I mean, this has the potential to escalate in some truly insane ways.

All of these people are unpredictable bc they are making decisions based on alien world views. I think they’re gonna TRY unimaginable violence. Whether or not it works? Yeah… I share your doubts about the American military being down for urban warfare in LA.

Some of these folks are Christian nationalists who probably wouldn’t mind if Armageddon happened bc it would usher in the second coming. Some of these folks would welcome a chance for the world to burn so they could build a white ethnostate from its ashes…

I think that there’s been a general hesitancy among people to consider the methods that the regime might be willing to go to in order to consolidate / keep power. I think a lot of people are making the mistake of thinking that the people making the decisions are sane.

I read a book on the Spanish Civil War a few years ago, and I am now haunted by the question: what would Franco do with nukes and dementia?
comment in response to post
I think that we should absolutely take seriously the regime’s intention to commit boots on the ground, and enact significant violence against civilians. The thing that I really worry about is that (for the reasons you mentioned) this is going to spiral out of control.

Omg, I didn’t notice this initially…

Somewhere there is an NYU liberal arts major who touched an idol at the same time as Bill Kristol who is now telling their polycule why we need to get troops back in afghanistan

Terry Moran is just stating objective truth here. This is not opinion. It is factual and relevant.

Is this real? I quit the hellsite a long time ago…

Although this is also probably not the time to go applying for a Green Card, bc it’s just being to bring you to the Feds’ attention. Like, what he’s saying might’ve been true once, but I’m extremely certain it isn’t NOW.

I haven’t seen that movie, but I’ve been thinking about it constantly recently. Just based on the clips I’ve seen.
