Who is in command of our military?
Who has their hands on the ‘nuclear football?
How compromised is the military by influences foreign to the Constitution? (foreign or domestic)

A coup doesn’t have to have any shots fired. I suspect our silent coup started a decade ago including installing new government in appointee positions as well as using the shadow government edicts designed to be a failsafe in a catastrophic war and was turned into and inserted as a clandestine command and control. This all was finalized as Trump left office. May be one of the reasons they had to keep Flynn out of the cabinet under Trump. The question is, who really runs it? A leftist junta? Proxies for Chinese communists?
The herd need to feel like the pasture is safe and fertile, or they will flee. A silent coup is the best coup.
Pence was a big factor there.
You may have a point about a "shadow government". I keep thinking back to William Burns going both to Ukraine and Israel (post October 7). If I were to surmise, whatever screwing around was going on in both those regions has gone so horribly bad that a 'principal' had to personally step in. And its still screwed up, imho.
Thing is, my experience has been that "design by committee" never works well.
The question is, who really runs it?
