Time to have the busloads of soldiers prepare standard defensive tactics. Establish fields of fire with interlacing machine gun lines that will knee-cap hundreds, if not thousands, of advancing hooligans.

The Germans perfected the technique in WWI and related that two machine gun nests, with interlacing fire, could destroy advancing battalions - and those battalions were armed.

Bring it on ye soy boys, ye raging Karens, ye pampered victim classes, and ye maleficent ANTIFAs.

They will when the shooting starts.

I have no doubt there will be some small groups who have organized and would go to war against the anarchists. I do believe most of us would be too apprehensive to leave the family unguarded to fend for themselves and would stay home and protect them the best we can.

My late father said, “Don’t start a war. You never know how it is going to end.” Obama et al. are playing with matches. Whatever the Obama/Deep State is planning it is not going to end well.

As an actual soldiers? Part of the 82nd from Fort Bragg? Not just national guard?

I dunno. I visited war torn Belfast, once, in 1979. My tour of the city included bombed out cars, bullet holes in just about every building we passed, locked down schools, rolls of barbed wire around prominent buildings, and British troops on every street corner. When I got off the train, my friend who was working there greeted me with a pamphlet with the title “what to do in case you are arrested,” and he also showed me a rubber bullet. Huge! Those things don’t kill you (usually), but they are no joke. A round of 1000 rubber bullets fired into the crowd would easily disperse it. The police, the National Guard, the army, all need to “dominate“ the streets, but we don’t need a slaughter, another Peterloo massacre.

I think they could be the ones that AG Barr put together - tactical swat teams from various fed agencies. Someone asked another bunch of them and all they would say they were from the DOJ. They’re not military police but are well-trained in riot control. They don’t wear identifying badges and they don’t identify themselves.

See this fascinating thread about what AG Barr did:
https://twitter.com/drawandstrike/status/1268599403604033536

“Barr openly acknowledging the tactical units of not only the FBI, but also the ATF, the DEA, the Bureau of Prisons, and about a dozen other federal agencies will be directly utilized in going after & stopping the violent rioting and targeting the instigators.”

Same here. Maybe some from other nearby areas might come, but it seems they are slowing down over all. Only 2 broadcastify feeds with more than 1k listeners. NYC and Buffalo NY. We shall see.

It won’t be a million

It won’t be a million, you’re right. I’ve seen one-half million people around the White House during the Vietnam protest in 1968. It filled up the entire Elipse and the Washington Monument ground down to Independence Avenue. Later demonstrations had one-million people and that crowd extended most of the way down the Mall to 3rd Street.

Let the riot planners guess what units they are going to have to deal with. Is it the seals, green berets, airborne etc.?

Did PDJT and his generals just lead the riot planners into a trap by making it appear that he was being forced to remove troops from the DC area?

Does Barr have intelligence that identified the plans that the riot planners and their “soldiers” were getting ready to implement? And did they wait until the riot planners had already set the plans in motion and when it would be impossible to pull all the “soldiers” back before moving their chess pieces into play?

I think they are beefing up the White House defenses to the point that no one will be able to breech the perimeter.

And I can just imagine the slime at CNN, MSNBC, and the like, as the camera views show people attempting to breach the White House, sitting in their newsrooms and control rooms, yelling “Come on! Go! Go! Go!”.
