    The real stupid are the officers and grunts following these orders. Trump just spouts bullshit all the time but he’s aware enough to not actually put himself in physical danger. But these bots are about to go over there and die for a charlatan child rapist instead of stopping and using their brain.

      Their entire instinct has been honed meticulously to obey orders and you think they’ll somehow come to a sudden communal realization that they are doing the bidding of an evil conman and stop in their tracks?

      They will not hesitate firing on US civilians either, if you were under that impression.

        Exactly, people don’t understand that an Army is formed by removing internal resistance to orders.

        So basically you can point the military at to something to kill and they will do it.

          Unless they have a general that they feel fierce loyalty towards and tell them otherwise- because well he’s the one giving the actual orders. Like in Roman times. But Roman times ain’t around no mo’.

      This is why Jesus said it’s a foolish and doomed idea to swear oaths and pledge allegiances.

      First move the “christian nation” clan makes?

      “Yeah we’re making everyone pledge to an idol now, and they have to do whatever the one waving it says, lol. Lmao, even.”
