Some 1,500 active duty Army paratroopers have been put on alert for a potential deployment to Minnesota, according to two defense officials.
They’re ones who are trained and equipped for arctic warfare. This is kind of thing you do when planning to massacre civilians.
Edit: The Washington Post is now saying the same thing:
Pentagon readies 1,500 soldiers to possibly deploy to Minnesota, officials say
Soldiers with the Army’s 11th Airborne Division in Alaska have been placed at the ready following Trump’s Insurrection Act threat, according to defense officials.
I mean, this is bait, but of course it’s both. And I do genuinely mean both, the game of chicken isn’t single player, but of the two, one side failed as citizens, and the other both as citizens and as professionals, who the first side literally pays to not let shit like this happen. That’s the problem.
