      How dare you insult those Patriots! We have to accept the outsized gun violence and school shootings that don’t happen in other countries because the heroes are going to battle all US armies with small arms like pistols, rifles, and shotguns! I’m sure they’ll be effective against tanks, bombs, satellite imagery, worldwide intelligence networks, missiles, machine guns, drones, nuclear warheads…

    Sounds to me like he’s planning a war or two…

    Remember during the election, when the folks in Texas kept describing migrants as “military-age men”? He’s gonna claim that the migrants are an invading army and he needs the military to root them out.

      He’s already ordered the military to plan an invasion of Panama to seize the canal (likely because Panama is the weaker target between them and Canada).

      What regime would be stupid enough to use military resources to imprison a chunk of the domestic population while also having a giant war?

      Oh, right, that kind.

    Krasnov’s regime has deported and detained less than Biden’s. There’s that government efficiency we’ve been sold!
