Seems that an American President in addressing the ‘Troops’ in Japan planted the seeds of a possible placing Democratic cities under Federal Military control….
With a friendly Supreme Court and Cowled Congress?
The unthinkable just COULD be on the horizon if the troops follow ILLEGAL orders from criminal Commander-in-Chief…
President Trump told American troops assembled in Japan on Tuesday that he was prepared to send “more than the National Guard” into cities to enforce his crackdowns on crime and immigration, further escalating how he has talked about using the military at home and abroad.
Speaking to thousands of military servicemembers aboard an aircraft carrier at the Yokosuka Naval Base in Japan on Tuesday, Mr. Trump delivered a partisan speech that resembled the raucous rallies that made him an ascendant force in U.S. politics.
But throughout his nearly hourlong speech, his usual ramblings about the physical appearances of audience members and steam-powered catapults were laced with dark warnings about how he might choose to deploy military forces.
“We have cities that are troubled, we can’t have cities that are troubled,” Mr. Trump said. “And we’re sending in our National Guard, and if we need more than the National Guard, we’ll send more than the National Guard, because we’re going to have safe cities.”
Mr. Trump also defended the U.S. military’s strikes against what the administration has said are suspected drug smugglers. The tactics have drawn widespread rebuke from experts who have said it is illegal to use the military to target civilians — including criminal suspects — who are not directly participating in hostilities.
Mr. Trump has increasingly used speeches to the military to air his grievances and bolster his accomplishments. Still, the scene was striking: an American president defending war and military deployments on U.S. soil, and employing partisan talking points on the global stage….
…
Mr. Trump defended the military’s recent attacks on boats, saying that the “radical left” had claimed that strikes had killed fishermen and not suspected drug smugglers. “Submarines don’t go fishing,” he said.
The United States has acknowledged at least 10 strikes on boats and semi-submersible crafts from South America that have killed 43 people. The administration has said they were all involved in drug smuggling but has provided no evidence for its claims. Other governments have said that innocent people have been killed in those strikes, including a fisherman whom the president of Colombia accused the United States of murdering…
…
Mr. Trump spent a considerable amount of his speech attempting to endear himself to the servicemembers in the crowd…
Note….
It would appear that Trump IS very aware that his military is NOT happy with his Defense Sec and putting them in a uncomputable position of possible being turned against their countrymen and women an d even children….
Generals and Adminral’s quitting IS a indication that something IS NOT right in the US military that could see Payless paydays to boot….
