A Pre-Emptive Strike By The Democrats [View all]
They say it is the kicked dog that barks.
In a surprise announcement via an ad, the Democrats advised the military that they did not have to follow "illegal" orders. Their emphasis was on the word "illegal".
Trump reacted like the dog that was kicked. He barked and bellowed that those Democrats should be hanged for sedition. His usual lack of awareness was apparent when some noticed that he pardoned several Jan 6 rioters that were charged with "sedition". But, it is OK when he does it?
But, there is probably much more to the story. He does not want the military to question any of his orders, legal or illegal, In fact, he probably has plans on the table to use the military in a questionable or illegal manner. The last thing he needed was Democrats telling "his" military which orders they could follow?
In my opinion, we will discover in the next few days or weeks that he was ready to launch a new military maneuver with the military. In fact, the world is questioning at this very moment his bombing of boats off the coast of Venezuela. Neither he nor his Secretary of Defense (War) has offered any evidence that they are killing drug smugglers, as they claim. Furthermore, even if they are drug smugglers, he does not have the authority to randomly kill anyone. There are ways for nations to handle these problems.
Yes, he is angry. And probably for a reason?
