I have seen comments on Twitter (yes I actually do monitor that every once in a while) stating that they Trust that the US military and local law enforcement officers will be able to handle the situation should the situation should armed riots break out.
In other words, they fully expect that the military is going to be called out against US civilians. And I’m fairly sure if the military refuses to go against US citizens, that foreign troops may be called in.
Entrenched power will yell for help, for certain. It won’t do them any good.
We’re MUCH better armed than Ukrainians. “Military grade” is a downgrade from what most of us have.
