Financial collapses are breeding ground for wars.

Hungry people do desperate things.

Precisely why I disagree with those that believe the military will not go along with subjugating the civilian population of this country, including firing upon us.

Hungry, angry, disenfranchised, maladjusted types are prime recruits for the military in a crash, especially when the country's leadership is despotically oriented. Which I think ours obviously is. Good and moral men won't participate in that, so they either leave or are forced out.

My opinion for those here that think the military will side with the civilian population. It won't be that simple.

Our current military will not side with despots.

Despots if not removed will recruit those who will. That is not an instant change.

The citizens are armed. They will not relinquish those weapons quietly. FACT.

There is a lot riding on November.

I am a boomer, born in 1947. BUT I have never been a part of the 60’s culture. Grew up on a farm, worked for independent businesses for 35 years. Not a leftie tendency anywhere in my body.

We shall see.
