If Newsweek is reporting the truth, the military brass are admitting to treason.
-Pentagon and Washington-area military leaders are on red alert, wary of what President Donald Trump might do in his remaining days in office. Though far-fetched, ranking officers have discussed what they would do if the president declared martial law. And military commands responsible for Washington DC are engaged in secret contingency planning in case the armed forces are called upon to maintain or restore civil order during the inauguration and transition period. According to one officer who spoke to Newsweek on condition of anonymity, the planning is being kept out of sight of the White House and Trump loyalists in the Pentagon for fear that it would be shut down.
“I’ve been associated with the military for over 40 years and I’ve never seen the discussions that are being had right now, the need for such discussions,” says a retired flag officer, currently a defense contractor who has mentored and advised his service’s senior leaders. He was granted anonymity in order to speak without fear of reprisal.
A half-dozen officers in similar positions agree that while there is zero chance that the uniformed leadership would involve itself in any scheme to create an election-related reversal, they worry that the military could get sucked into a crisis of Trump’s making, particularly if the president tries to rally private militias and pro-Trump paramilitaries in an effort to disrupt the transition and bring violence to the capital.
There’s no credibility to this sort of stuff, no more than there was to all that Russia and dossier stuff.
But people being what they are, they will choose to believe what they want to believe about it without bothering to investigate it first.
I smell fresh Bull Sh#t. Fake news to the rescue.
Obama loyalists no doubt.
The reversal happened when the Democrats cheated, not when somebody else is trying to right the ship. I know the political hacks in the military at the top want to keep the gravy train going. Not this time.
Well, I guess we have to wait four years to see if their bullshit rings true on this one
Trump should have a night of the long knives for flag officers to get rid of the progressive/commies in the services.
We need to get our military brass back to their primary missions of integrating transgenders and social justice so they stop chasing these dead end conspiracy theories.
I wonder how willing these same officers (if this is even halfway true) would have been if Obama was the one thinking of declaring martial law?
Bestiality in the military. Discuss.
Newsweak: you can believe every word you read! [sarcasm]
No doubt, Brennan is behind this phony bullshit. He always is.
Weren’t they sold, like the entire company, for ONE dollar? lolol
Fragging ensues
Newsweek?
HarHarHarHarHarHar……Really?
Gawd I hate Newsweek. “A crisis of Trump’s making”?!!
Bullshit. The media sows doubt, confusion, and lies.
Fuek this country – it’s gone.
We need to start our own, and do it right now. If we don’t, we’ll be enslaved in 2 years.
Phuck all your anonymous sources. It means you either made it up or you were talking to a coward. Someone bereft of conviction of their beliefs. A craven milquetoast hiding their identity out of fear.
Screw that.
We’re way past people choosing a side.
Stand up, or shut up.
The military is top heavy with tinpots, wokesters, incompetents, losers and hate America leftists! Why do we need hundreds of low-life, overpaid generals, admirals and other assorted jetsam and flotsam! When was the last time these pukes won a war, police action or even a skirmish?
“Phuck all your anonymous sources.”
I stop reading these articles as soon as they attribute it to an Anon. At that point it propaganda.
Fake News: No named sources. Just lead in sentence’s that start with “(blank) say’s…”
I call BS.
Didn’t realize Newsweak was still in business. Read some of the comments over there for this article. It will rise your I Q but at least 20 points. Those people are delusional.
LMAO Newsweek doesn’t;t even publish a print magazine anymore don’t bother with this shit.
It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if there were a group of Pentagon flag officers more concern about cashing their ticket with the military industrial complex (and thus prone to side with the establishment) than they are about their oath to the nation and the constitution.
Newsweek . . . Gotta be the truth!
This is why you shitcan EVERYBODY above O-6, after 8 years of a demtard running things. 😡
Coming from “Officers” that keep us entangled in a 20 year war and those that manage to crash ships into others on the high seas.
Trump isn’t fool enough to place any trust in you hapless buffoons.
I will right away snatch your rss feed as I can not to find your e-mail
subscription link or e-newsletter service. Do you have any?
Kindly permit me realize in order that I may subscribe.
Thanks.
If (IF) this is true then thats another reason why Chris Miller and special forces are in and they are out.
Well, simply consider the source.
Sounds like NewsWeak was talking to the disgraced ex-Army Major “Asshole” Vindman
I doubt that the rank and file are in agreement with the annoms. After all while a Navy officer I quickly learned who really ran the Navy…The chiefs and not the Adms.
The ol’ anonymous source to Newsweak eh? Sure Karen.
poopagrande
Who’s Week? Jews week?
Semitic BS. Underming our country. All of them should be booted OUT to Israel, and we can stop paying those rats 8 billion a year too.
