Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

They are going to start a small skirmish they call a "war". Mark my words.

Is this the part where they purge anyone who would say no to an unlawful order?

The more I think about it the more I feel this is indeed a checkup to see who is loyal and who needs to be long removed before the upcoming midterms...

I can't remember a full on recall of all world wide command staff before a small conflict is started, so this definitely has an ulterior motive.

It might be an innocent event/meeting in itself but behind the curtains they will investigate who responds how to this summons. Perhaps they'll even brainstorm a reason for it, like a military intervention in venezuela, or "we attack the UN" ... perhaps it will be "we occupy gaza" ... or who knows "boots on the ground in Ukraine!" ...but ultimately it will be a loyalty investigation.

I worry that's next on the list. What did they do in 1933?

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Well, in replaying the German Nazi time, they already mixed up the timeline. But you can make a list and strike a lot off it already.

They just collected the badges for getting the American Horst Wessel and holding a Reichsparteitag.

Maybe they have a July, 20th, 1944 soon, but with a more successful outcome.

I think they're purposely moving the order of events around. The law ultimately doesn't apply to them given the supreme Court rulings.

So essentially they took out Hitlers biggest hurdle before even starting his reign.

It's already happened with the top brass. This would be another round of it.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago

That's already been happening for months now.

Generals, draw your weapons!

Now shoot the person on your left (or right if you're at the end!)

Then their goons shoot anyone who didn't try to shoot someone and keep the rest.

No, it's where they install the brain slugs all in one go so there is no one of high enough rank to warn about it.
