Encouraging military personnel to disobey their Commander in Chief because of TDS is treason. Period. Sanctuary Cities that protect illegals criminal or otherwise – is nullification of Fed immigration Law – and should be Unconstitutional if this Republic was functioning – and SCOTUS and our Govt worked together – but our country is woefully divided by enemies within. Yes, treason exists in words and deeds that go beyond simple political disagreements.
We are in an undeclared war with Maduro and the Drug Cartels that target America. We are actually also in an undeclared war with China – their supplies of raw material for fentanyl and the Mexican Cartels and other players like Maduro that target America – resulting in 100,000 or so drug deaths a year in America. Since WW2 we have had several undeclared wars including Viet Nam and over 50,000 American deaths because of the absurd “Domino Theory” that seems so foolish in hindsight as we have not seen many dominoes go down and threaten “Democracy”, but instead we deal with communist countries, economically and otherwise, as a routine today. The only issue here is that Trump is willing to emulate the likes of Teddy Roosevelt with pre-emptive strikes to prevent American deaths rather than send thousands of our young men – many that were DRAFTED – to die and be maimed in Viet Nam.
Sure, if in this VOULUNTARY military we have today – a soldier wants to object to an order – he simply should have the courage to say so – and pay the consequences – good or bad. But that’s not what is really going on here. Most of these Democrat Political hacks calling for military personnel to disobey orders and object to Trump’s undeclared war against Maduro, could care less about the war other than as another way to target Trump – Epstein files, etc. – anything that could win points for the ’26 mid-term elections and beyond. Yes, there is always the naïve myopic Libertarians like Rand Paul – who might actually believe that the POTUS needs to go to congress for any military action – but the precedent of strong Presidents acting without waiting for the snail pace of Congress to catch up – is clear from Viet Nam, to Obama’s drone strikes, to Clinton’s strikes in Bosnia, etc.
I always admired one of my favorite philosophers and thinkers for his courageous stand on this issue about war and when it was necessary to object. Bertrand Russell and his socialist leanings I do not agree with – but I admired his stand objecting to WW1 and that he was willing to go to jail for it. He was morally justified since in hindsight we now know there were no good reasons for that war and the catastrophe that led to massive destruction and death – this war, this cluster fuck that actually planted the seeds of the Nazi party that led to WW2 – where Russell made a 180 degree change and correctly supported that war to fight Hitler and the Nazis.
It started with the usual anti-Trump article where he accused Democrat politicians of sedition and treason by encouraging military personnel to disobey orders.
One comment I spotted that was slightly off topic about that misunderstood word democracy:
10 Conditions That Commonly Lead to the Destruction of a Democracy
1. Erosion of Free and Fair Elections
2. Attacks on the Rule of Law
3. Concentration of Power in the Executive
4. Silencing or Intimidating the Press
5. Weakening Independent Institutions
6. Encouraging Political Violence or Extremism
7. Demonizing Opponents and Destroying Norms of Respect
8. Spreading Massive Disinformation
9. Corruption and Cronyism
10. Loss of Public Faith in the System
Do any of these sound familiar?
My response:
We live in a Representative Republic – not a pure democracy. Your list can be turned around – 1. Was the 2020 election fair given massive changes during Covid? 2. Are sanctuary cities – constitutional – which political party gets to decide what rules to enforce? 3. Which exec dept had more concentration of power – Biden or Trump? 4. Which party actually was guilty of targeting certain press outlets – Fox News James Rosen remember? 5. Which party has undermined the Church? 6. Which party supports BLM and Antifa and their riots? Which party incited violence that led to Scalise Trump assassination attempts and assassination of Charlie Kirk? 7. Respect? Which party leaders call the opposition Fascists and worse? 8. Which party controls the MSM? 9. Which party is more guilty of corruption and cronyism – as both are? 10. Which party lost public faith as exemplified by losing both the popular and electoral college vote in the last POTUS election?
The Dems are simply playing politics with the military and that does get them right up to the edge of sedition…the problem here is that we are in undeclared wars with the Cartels and those who fund insurrectionists…are these insurrectionists white supremacist’s or are they ones that fund Antifa and BLM and the Democrat party?
Another comment from that article: Maga are obsolete, thats what started all of this. They’re poorly educated, easily replaced and once willingly accepted the title “Americas forgotten man”
I responded: Yes we who support our President are poorly “indoctrinated” by your so-called “education system” although I have an advanced degree from a top University – most of what I know I learned in 5th Grade – and on my own since; and I don’t live in the “world” – I live in America – so that is where my loyalty resides and my guess even most Democrats who are indoctrinated might agree and yes, the Marxist left and Globalist right indeed pushed the forgotten men and women of America to the America first movement – make America Great Again – rather than Marxist share the misery Democrat Party.
