My hot take? First off, he doesn't "sign" the IA, it's ready on the books, he just invokes it. Splitting hairs, I know, but it gets more annoying everytime I see it. As far as the increased military presence, I dunno, maybe I am black pilled, but it appears to all be a show of force and part live exercise going into the future, not necessarily for anything in particular, unless people do actually get retarded. There is turmoil, and I think this is to mainly discourage third party, really bad actors and actual terrorists from taking advantage our state of confusion/disruption/turmoil. Despite what anyone says or believes about what went down at the capitol our real nasty enemies had to have seen how pathetic security was, so now we have to make up for it. It could have been real bad had actual terrorists been mixed in that shit. Aside from that, some real scary and dystopian shit is happening, and I do not see any light at the end of the tunnel, at least not feom my boxcar. It doesn't appear anything can be accomplished at this point, it's basically waiting for the system to collapse under it's own weight of hubris and inevitable failure.
