I've only heard people parrot this. I've never seen anything to substantiate it.

Yeah, the two points I can think of in favor of the theory are that General Flynn tipped Trump off and it'd help explain Pompeo not being swamp, but then they could've been acting alone as patriots.

I'd love to hear about something that actually confirms it, but I have the feeling if we do it'll only be after something happens, if something happens.

Well whether it's true or not, the military had better be the fuck on this because if they're not, they'll have us to contend with.

The military couldn't handle the taliban. How well can they expect to handle us?

The military probably could have handled the Taliban, the actual force that is not the broader ideology (for that it would've required other tactics), the problem was the goal never was to truly handle the Taliban.

Look at how quickly ISIS got bowled under the Trump admin when under the Obama admin they were doing great (and receiving neat arms drops from the CIA)

spez: Not contending that if everyone rose up and used their guns the military would be in serious trouble, but it'd be a hard fight if it really came to that, the swamp creatures would be pushing for eradication this time, unlike what they did with terror groups in the third world.
