the top levels in the military need to be having some "private" conversations with each other because they need to figure out how to react to an extreme weird order or situation. What would they do for example if Crumb the 1st gave them an order to allow visiting Russian Intelligence/Military to access our most sensitive locations and systems? Some people say these are needless speculations because they would be so crazy. My response to that is what have we seen since 1/21 that prior to that date would have been too "crazy" and people thought would never be done?

Between gutting the government to the point of making agencies/departments so hobbled they can't function, outright elimination and now igniting a global trade war to collapse the worldwide economy what of these things wouldn't have been called "crazy" in October of 2024? But here we are and now the rantings of a lunatic are enough to remove top level military personnel. Do I believe that they will even go down to the level of elevating MAGA Colonels etc. to General and then placing them in charge? Absolutely. Every appointment they have made has demonstrated that competence, skill and experience are not only not required but they are in fact dis-qualifiers.
