My thoughts, exactly. But then I thought about it more.
If the military has in fact been engaged, it is because our government has been infiltrated by a very capable and hostile foreign threat. (Most of us agree that this is the case.) It is because we are in fact at war. If that is true, then one cannot deny the reality of war. It is ugly and destructive, and unforgiving. It would be arrogant of us to believe that collateral damage is completely avoidable. No war has ever been fought without hardship and suffering.
Right now, that collateral damage is mostly economic. (Under this hypothetical, the political developments since January 20 would all become null and void at the conclusion of the conflict.) Of course economic damage results in the loss of life, due to depression, suicide, etc., but in comparison to open violence (civil war) it is a drop in the bucket.
I'll admit, it is a frustrating line of thinking. What could they possibly be waiting for? Well, perhaps they are waiting for We The People to mobilize and take action to reclaim our local/state governments. That would show support for anything the military would do at the top/federal level, and prevent open violence do the confusion/chaos that the MSM could surely create.
(Remember: if America descends into violent civil war, then we are done. China, Iran, and our other enemies would pick sides and escalate the conflict until the mainland was weak enough for invasion. So Priority 1 for any military strategy would be to prevent widespread civil unrest and violent uprisings.)
It would seem our best course of action is to take steps to retake control of local governments. That should be our priority, regardless of whether or not Trump and the military have something planned. But if they do, they are going to need the regional support of provincial governments, in order to properly implement Devolution.
But the Mainland would never be weak enough for invasion. Furthermore invading a Country with Nukes is a No Win Scenario.
If we were that destabilized we could easily "Accidentally" send a couple Nukes China or whoever was invading.
YOU coming up with imaginary scenarios in your head is utterly and completely useless. Instead of playing childish games and going full 36 stratagems, do something useful in the real world.
