2. So, the Army is going to be trained in warfare against U.S. citizens?

We here on DU, and millions of like-minded Americans, saw this threat looming in 2024 as Trump was rising in the polls. Putin's trolls ridiculed us, and the MAGAs followed suit. They said we were delusional.

As the misapplication of our country's military resources becomes a reality, our military readiness against foreign threats will diminish. Putin will be thrilled.

…positioned in all 50 states. This is a great leap forward into militarizing our civilian spaces and population.

ICE thugs have been given the word that they are immune (by Stephen Miller) and are already battering peaceful protestors, battering brown people in general, kidnapping, disappearing, shooting “less than lethal” munitions at peaceful protestors — point blank at heads, faces, and necks, and that stuff can kill, maim, and blind.

Police state? Yes.
