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

    Was going to give him shit for not knowing what a fucking admiral was…

    But the article is even worse, bro is calling in 800 very high ranking officers, including ones on the other side of the planet actively overseeing armed conflicts.

    Not only is this stupid and a waste of time/resources, it’s incredibly dangerous from multiple operational standpoints.

        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.

      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.

      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.

    My money is this is just a flex. Like from just Hegseth. He wants to show them that he can call them to DC on a whim. Who he’s trying to impress? Not a fucking clue.

    If I had to guess, I’d say there are probably many in the military’s high ranks who believe that blowing up random fishing boats off the coast of Venezuela is a violation of international law, and would refuse if ordered to do so. Maybe everyone who has such a conscience will be fired?

    Venezuela, the terrorist known as Antifa, or just cause to go over some minor policy change that could have been sent out as a notice?

    Edit: The last one
