I’m a student of history, too.
And while your point re: Lebanon and Ulster are good ones, I call your attention to the by-now standard Color Revolution script for extra-political, extra-electoral regime change - which is exactly what is happening here.
The question has been placed on the table by America’s domestic enemies - “Does the President control the military? Will they follow his orders?”
I don’t think he does. And I don’t think they will.
Not to go full Napoleon, but power is very close to lying in the gutter, waiting to be picked up.
The question is, will the President pick it up? Somebody has to.
REPOST: Trump is a smooth operator. He is challenging the Mayors and Governors acting on behalf of the DNC; by issuing this designation to one of the groups ALWAYS PRESENT when BLM types protest their way into rioting and looting, Trump is removing one group from the equation. Once this group of predominantly White troublemakers are gone, all that is left is the BLM and politicians predominantly Black from Police Chief to Mayor or DA to the Governor of each State.
Federal Law can be used for crossing State lines in the commission of a crime, e.g., to riot or loot, to harm people or property. Applying it only at this point publicly to the “predominantly” White Antifa it gives the DNC an out or way to save face while ending the riots. Should this fail Trump will enforce curfews using Active Duty Military taking it again out of the bag of tricks Democrats use to ensure stores and malls are closed without shoppers or employees to be hurt. There is a pattern in that most of the rioting is done after curfews are in effect.
Martial Law if used in certain cities or areas of a city again takes the legal option out of the bag of tricks Democrats use... e.g., by not enforcing laws or legal constraints upon “protesters”.
Trump will be able to show that Democrats are unable to protect and serve the public that votes them into office.
Does Trump really want to go there, and that answer is generally a No, however along the way if these actions are implemented it takes step by step control of the narrative from the politicians of the opposition DNC.
Might the Trump Administration review the official actions and communications of the public servants? Likewise, might the phone and email communications of people arrested come into play? Out of Stater’s Yes, local folk maybe depending upon the severity of the circumstance. Could the DOJ charge and try police chiefs/officers, mayors, DAs, city administrators, Governors and others who fail uphold their Oath of Office to protect the public?
I agree we do not want to see our troops killing Americans.
I totally agree with you. He shouldn’t go in unless asked.
