The Pentagon has summoned military officials from around the world for a gathering in Virginia. Even top generals and their staffs don’t know the reason for the meeting.
10 bucks says Hegseth meant to meet with a couple generals, but because he was drunk he accidentally sent the orders to every general and admiral in the military.
Auto-complete changing Al into All Generals instead of Al Johnson.
I will make that bet.
I 2nd the bet!
Can anyone added accidentally to the signal group brief us on what happened in the meeting please.
We’re going to war with somebody.
And all the times I’ve heard MAGA tell me Biden and the Dems were warmongers.
But, I could be wrong. I always admit that.
And all the times I’ve heard MAGA tell me Biden and the Dems were warmongers.
It’s always projection. 100% of the time
Maybe it’s like the department of justice: find me a war that will help me politically. I’ll fire anyone who doesnt.
But shit, Venezuelans need to be stocking up on supplies. Effing MAGAts have already been laying the groundwork
Epstein’s Law: every accusation from a Conservative [of being guilty of a thing] is a confession [of being guilty of the thing]
It’s polulist tactics 101: blame all your wrongdoings on your enemy/opposition. All they can reply with is “no you!” Wow, strong defense, as if anyone is going to believe that.
They need to christen their newly renamed Department of War with a war of some sort. Otherwise why go through all that trouble of renaming it. That would just look stupid.
Let’s just hope it’s not against US citizens.
Better Americans fight Americans than anyone else. Fix your shit.
trump is already at war with them.
yeah it better be just some more brown people! this is american tax dollars after all
But, I could be wrong.
They renamed the Department of Defense to Department of War. So yeah, you’re probably wrong. It’s probably just a military high tea with a karaoke contest or something.
“Antifa” they are going to war with American citizens. They are going to purge anyone who objects
Two things can be true at the same time. I know this must be shocking news to you.
My guess? Loyalty pledge.
'Murica right now:
Murica right now
Murikkka
That or/and a purge
I remember hearing a story about some country’s leader started gathering their legislators and then claimed he had uncovered a list of names conspiring against him, then announced the names one by one, got the soldiers to lead them to a hallway, and executed them, then the remainder of them pledge loyalty to the leader.
Something like that, forgot what country it was. But this sounds so familiar. Uncanny parallel.
A video of that event exists. It was Saddam Hussein.
Sadaam.
Yeah, definitely talking about Iraq. Here is Hitch talking about it.
But these are the Generals, not congressmen…
Smells like a purge.
The kind where they’ll call names, take them outside, and summarily execute them for some invented treason.
I mean… the US military is supposed to be anti fascist, and if you’re a general you’ve been there longer than just trumps term, so really they are all anti fascists.
Antifa is a terrorist organization now, so he’ll round em all up, charge them with treason, and install new generals who’ve never served in the military before.
The military swears an oath to the constitution, not the president or any man. Which is what my air force friends have been telling me - don’t worry, the forces won’t go fascist. Trump apparently came to the same conclusion and is reducing their forces while he massively ramps up ICE, his new domestic army that DOES swear allegiance to him.
Which seems like it has implications but I’m no analyst.
The military swears an oath to the constitution, not the president or any man.
Technically, all of the admin did the same pledge and we see how that’s going.
Not just ICE. Republicans are talking about putting a Turning Point USA chapter in every school in the country. They’re stacking the next generation with Hitler Youth indocrination to avoid that pesky “loyalty to the constitution”
I mean, there’s funding, sure. But I’d put my money on a marine with nothing but flipflops and his privately owned rifle over a ICE goon any day.
How many ICE goons are (ex)military?
I could be wrong here, but I feel like anyone in ICE who was in the military are the military rejects, or couldn’t get into the military.
If they were good ex military there would better jobs than ICE.
right, the air force has no extremists
i remember the AFB he was stationed at’s response to this. it was nothing.
Every org is going to have extremists, but you are talking about a former military member that was discharged with a less than honorable discharge, who then committed and was sentenced for murder.
What do you think the AFB should have done here?
he was active duty when it happened
And he was discharged, tried for murder and sentenced to over 40 years in jail.
What do you think should have been done by the military unit that would have made this better?
anything more than jack shit would have been nice.
Its actually illegal to be a “Nazi” “Communist” or “Member of a Totalitarian Party” when someone becomes a US Citizen, so I think we should revoke citizenship of all the magats.
Which will basically be like Tsarist Russia, which was humiliated countless times in the 19th century and ww1 in no small part due to their big military officers being appointed due to noble rank rather than merit or ability.
Well we had the horst wessel shooting time for night of the long knives?
More like the way Hitler had all the generals summoned in 1935 to take an oath to him personally instead of to the Weimar Republic.
This seems like exactly the type of gathering you want to avoid in a world where hypersonic missiles probably* exist.
* bring on the pedantry over what actually defines a hypersonic missile
Seems like the kind of gathering where you may want to bring a gun and sit near the emergency exit.
I’m not cut out for military. I’d sooner resign than be summoned in this way
Putin is salivating right now. Jerking off to visions of a nuke wiping out the heads of US military.
There’s always the state of the union where you could cripple the US government, so it’s not like there aren’t options for something like that if you were already willing to risk it.
Whole TV series on that too called Designsted Survivor with Kiefer Sutherland. I quite enjoyed it.
I loved it. But season 3 feels… idk, like the government is already fixed so plot is over, not sure why they even made a season 3.
It got very formulaic.
Crisis happens, president makes rash decision that his advisors say is going to be a mistake, mistake happens, he fixes mistake with fatherly talk and “I’m new at this” repeat.
Money, the reason is always money.
Military take over of sesame street
I fucking knew it
Im calling it. Fight antifa which is anyone the administration says it is or anyone posting or demostrating against facism. I carry signs against facism regularly. no kings anyone?
Off to the gulag with you!
well the pizza index was high last night. that market’s just opening so keep an eye
How high was the pizza index before us bombed Iran
Maybe they’re all getting a suprise ice cream party.
I’m thinking red wedding.
They are preparing the Military on the fight on Antifa.
Aka: Martial Law
They are preparing the Military on the fight on Antifa
I suspect they are informing the generals they are about to begin an invasion of (take your pick) country.
No. This is something else. If it was an invasion plan there would be the usual high level meetings at the Pentagon and Whitehouse. Then orders would be issued via the usual secured communication.
The only reason to bring all of them in is a for a political purity test and or mass firing.
I mean, theoretically, shouldn’t a literal room full of top Generals be able to organize and have all their bosses placed under Military Arrest for issuing corrupt orders? Our soldiers are not supposed to obey corrupt orders.
My guess is Venezuela.
“remember in 2001 when we sent you on a pointless crusade against a nebulous idea? We’re doing that again but harder.”
Or something like making his horse a consul?
I hope they all brought knives ala the Roman Senate…
Wouldn’t that be wild? MAGA world would find a way to blame the left, though.
