1,500 #soldiers on standby for possible #Minnesota deployment, reports say, as #state mobilizes #NationalGuard
The soldiers are on prepare-to-deploy orders in case violence escalates in Minnesota, according to the Washington Post. It is typical for the #Pentagon “to be prepared for any decision #Trump may or may not make,” the White House said in a statement to CNN.

@Nonilex
No one in the military is willing to disobey unlawful orders so far.
Venezuela proved that beyond a shadow of doubt
This is what getting rid of competent theater commanders and IG's gets you.
A compliant kissass conmand structure.
You fuckers lost your democracy when you chose not to vote for her.
That her has been right from day one.
So....
Fuck you non voters
Hope you like getting your ass kicked
Financially
Morally
Ethically
If not physically
@Nonilex the troops that are on standby to deploy are based in Alaska and would easily adapt to a deployment to Greenland 🇬🇱. Just a small diversion at the last moment to free Greenland from their current occupation. I hope I’m wrong but either way it’s a bad situation.
@Nonilex @bmacDonald94 hell yes, let the soldier bois kill each other
And in answer We The People should reclaim and enact the 2nd amendment, wrestle it from the gun lobbies and democratically prepare knowing the founders saw this coming. The amendment was written for just this sort of moment.
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
Yeah, but I am a pacifist. I don’t want to bear arms.
I used to have a bumber sticker that read,
“I support the right to arm bears.”
@Nonilex
I too am a pacifist, but a pacifist that is not willing to give up my grandchildren's future.
Might does not make right.
But sometimes right has to flex it’s might to make things right.
I'm sorry, who would the National Guard be protecting?
Minnesotans.
Yes. Minnesota National Guard spox Army Maj. Andrea Tsuchiya said in a statement to CNN, noting the troops will help provide “traffic support to protect life, preserve property, & support the rights of all Minnesotans to assemble peacefully.”
@Nonilex I no longer trust what people say; I watch what they do.
@Nonilex This will be the "Come to Jesus Moment" for American troops faced with the decision to fire on fellow Americans. My bet is that most will say, "Fuck this. I didn't sign up to kill Americans regardless of who gives the orders. The joker in the deck will be some batcrap crazy asswipe who just wants to kill and opens fire, triggering return fire that may escalate into a firefight.
This is actually what #CivilWar looks like. #Trump is pitting #USsoldiers against #US soldiers on #domestic soil.
#Pentagon readies 1,500 #soldiers to possibly deploy to #Minnesota
Troops with the #Army’s #11thAirborne Division in Alaska are preparing after Trump’s #InsurrectionAct threat, according to defense officials.

Thanks for sharing this article. But I don't understand the idea that he's pitting US soldiers against US soldiers. it seems to me they're pitting various forces (military, federal LE) against US residents / civilians.

So, basically setting up another 4uto3rotic m4sturb4tion porn flic for #PeteHegseth
Guy's gotta get off somehow, ya know...
The #Pentagon has ordered about 1,500 active-duty soldiers to prepare for a possible deployment to #Minnesota, #defense officials told WaPo late Saturday, after #Trump threatened to invoke the #InsurrectionAct in response to “unrest” [dissent] there.
The soldiers are assigned to 2 #infantry #battalions with the #Army’s #11thAirborne Division, which is based in Alaska & specializes in #ColdWeather operations.
#NationalSecurity #law #PosseComitatusAct #MilitaryState #MartialLaw #AbuseOfPower
@Nonilex Alaskan cold weather troops - sure they’re not prepping for Greenland? Using Minnesota as a ruse?
This would be a make or break moment for US active duty: Will US soldiers shoot to kill American soldiers who look like them wearing uniforms identical to their own? Will US officers order live fire on US troops?
Walz served 24 years in the Minnesota National Guard, Walz has balls. Hegseth has a drinking problem.
I'll bet on Tim each and every time.
The #Army placed the units on prepare-to-deploy orders in case “violence” in #Minnesota escalates, officials said, characterizing the move as “prudent planning.” It is not clear whether any of them will be sent to the state, the officials said, speaking like some others on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive #military planning.

The #Minnesota #NationalGuard “are not deployed to city streets at this time, but are ready to help support public safety,” MN’s Dept of #PublicSafety said in a social media post that included pictures of Guard members gathering bags of equipment alongside a row of trucks on a snowy road.

@Nonilex omg, that's just such nonsens. How military personnel can even bear to utter such silliness shows how dumb it has all become. Scary for citizens but still dumb
The #NationalGuard is “staged & ready to respond,” #Minnesota National Guard spox #Army Maj. Andrea Tsuchiya said in a statement to CNN, noting the troops will help provide “traffic support to protect life, preserve property, & support the rights of all Minnesotans to assemble peacefully.”👍
