    It’s more:

    Starve, or we’ll tell you to beat each other!

    It’s why it’s so stupid he’s been fucking with the NG so much and deploying them for bullshit but not long enough for benefits to kick in.

    He imagines jackbooted storm troopers cracking heads at a moments notice…

    He’s going to get people pissed off they’re there, agreeing more with protestors than their commanders, and since they can’t carry guns, they’re going to do everything possible to de-escalate. And all of their training up till this program has been for actual de-escalation.

    And at best taking a couple days to show up anywhere, most likely weeks.

    There’s no scenario this works out how trump wants.

        I think ATCs would selectively work. Namely, to transport Allied ReUnion troops to where they need to go, while botching or denying service to the Neo Confederate Axis.

        One side wants to pay federal workers and be boring, the other abuses them.
