Obama Pentagon Official Says Anti-Trump Military Coup Now Possible Says Trump ‘as crazy as everyone feared’; claims military overthrow and ‘an insane order’ both ‘frightening’
By Carlo Muñoz - February 2, 2017.
A former Defense Department official under the Obama administration has raised the specter of a military coup to remove President Donald Trump from power.
In an editorial penned for Foreign Policy, senior Pentagon policy official Rosa Brooks publicly suggested a military insurrection against the Trump administration may be the only option to oust one of the most divisive presidents in American history.
“Donald Trump’s first week as president has made it all too clear: Yes, he is as crazy as everyone feared,” Ms. Brooks wrote. “[One] possibility is one that until recently I would have said was unthinkable in the United States of America: a military coup, or at least a refusal by military leaders to obey certain orders.”
For the first time in her career in public service, including three years as senior counselor to the Pentagon’s policy chief from 2009 to 2011, “I can imagine plausible scenarios in which senior military officials might simply tell the president: ‘No, sir. We’re not doing that.’”
Ms. Brooks‘ editorial comes as a recent poll by Public Policy Polling group found that 40 percent of registered voters support Mr. Trump’s impeachment. In addition, 52 percent of voters polled said they would rather have President Obama in the Oval Office, opposed to the 43 percent who support the Trump presidency.
In the editorial, Ms. Brooks noted that Mr. Trump’s “thin-skinned, erratic, and unconstrained” approach to defense matters of defense could put top U.S. military leaders in a position where they would be forced to execute orders that may be “dangerously unhinged” from a basic understanding of national security.

Sedition. Arrest her
Excellent! Thank you!
I can’t disagree with any of that.
KISS...Keep It Simple, Stupid lol
Thank you for posting that info.
lol. Did someone say it already? This is my first hearing about it.
But it seems saying Kill Trump out loud, spraying it on a wall, or posting on facebook is no big ####ing deal.
Just ask Sarah Silverman, that ####ing pig.
Keep your powder dry and your fields of fire cleared.
Remember, Brooks’ mother is an old line commie - Barbara Ehrenreich and leading figure in the Marxist Democratic Socialists of America.
Rosa was Obama’s mouthpiece in the anti-defense group he established to take our military down a couple of notches.
Anything she says is not only “suspect” but well-planned Marxist bullshit.
Well now we know why the Obungler foreign policy went wrong in the Pentagon
and why ISIS was considered a "J.V. Team"
Maybe she should be air-dropped so that she can personally meet the J.V. team.
My saying “Not this shit again” was referencing the oft-seen photo captioned that way,probably an old ad for some pain medication showing a well-dressed 1950s man holding his head with a pained expression on his face. It woulda been better to post the picture with the caption, but I couldn’t find it.
This is blatant sedition. Also, part of the Soros funded purple revolution. There may be some Military that preferred Obama or Clinton, but the majority are with DJT.
In fact, I’m pretty sure that Obama was told during the last 6 months that the military wasn’t going to go along with arming our enemies. Perhaps Obama was told he would go along or face trial/hanging for treason.
These groups need to be shut down immediately. They are trying to start a civil war and destroy the country.
If the military took no action when a foreign Muslim communist took power for eight years and deliberately gutted the military, then I doubt they would react to the election of a patriotic American determined to restore it.
When leftists are looking to the military to solve their political woes, they have reached rock bottom; I revel in their misery.
And arrest her scab POS husband masquerading as a US military colonel...
Which leads in inexorably to the question: why was the daughter -- or any relative of Barbara Ehrenreich -- ever hired as an advisor to the US military?
A military coup after a lawful election is treason against the American people and the Constitution and speaking this way should be punishable.
I figured that was what it was in reference to. :)
But I wouldn’t have been shocked at all to hear another obama appointee called for a coup.
Pieces of ###
And for the record, I think Trump is actually holding back and trying not to upset people.
I would feel better if he did not pick fights with Arnold.
i would feel better if he would not Tweet in the middle of the night.
Actually there are a lot of them. But there is nothing I can do about it.
Makes me wonder if Iran isn’t working with the left to force President Trump into an early military confrontation, thus their unhinged meme.
The leftist globalist crowd isn’t just in America, it’s everywhere.
Good grief. The enemy inside the gates.
any military coup against Trump will almost certainly end like the coup against Erdogan.
And then left wing kooks will accuse Trump of faking the coup in order to seize power.
