A major increase in U.S. naval forces in the south Caribbean Sea has been underway since President Trump signed a directive targeting some cartels.

This seems to be because the courts have ruled that absent an actual war, Trump can’t use the Alien Enemies Act to put people in concentration camps or deport them.

I’ll also note that the US is also purging military leadership

    Second, he needs a war to somehow rationalize military forces in our towns.

    I’m thinking the opposite, the military forces in our towns are to crush the inevitable mass protests when he goes to war with Venezuela. Literally no one wants this, even MAGA pretty much all claim they voted for Trump for no more wars.

      The cult is mentally ill. They will fall in line. They do not possess enough critical thought to put two and two together.

      All of the Epstein shit only dropped his approval from like 95 to 90% among R’s. Fascism won’t fizzle out. It will continue to spread like cancer until it is removed with violence.
