Is Trump emulating Stalin? — the grand purge

Who's out

 

With General Christopher Donahue's forced retirement, Trump and Hegseth's purge of US military generals continues.

 

 

Why this Stalin-like purge of military leaders?

 

Is it to advance Trump's suspected plan to impose a third term, by removing military heads who have enough backbone to protect the Constitution?

 

Or alternatively, to accelerate taking over the world via nuclear war — by getting rid of uniformed leaders, who oppose such a tactic?

 

Might it just be the petty-minded expression of the Trump Cabal's spite, for having been so widely disrespected by so many high ranking Armed Forces personnel?

 

 

Given the mental stature of who is gone . . .

 

. . . and who is still here, it is certainly not a simple thinning of three and four star ranks. That, purportedly being made for the sole purpose of rationalizing the United States top-heavy military structure.

 

 

A guess as to why

 

The Trump-sponsored purge of American military heads was initiated for the purpose of turning the American military into Trump's personally controlled Armed Forces.

 

Given the scope of American power — even in on its declining parabola — this would become the most dangerous event ever to occur in humanity's geopolitical history.

 

Can you imagine Trump's spectacularly mercurial stupidity in complete charge of such a massive, nuclear armed, aeronautic and naval force?

 

Humanity, in its current mass, would continue to exist — or not — solely at Trump's whim.

 

 

The moral? —  Putting geriatric lunacy in civilian-led charge of America . . .

 

. . . was a questionable decision from its beginning.

 

The fact that we did — and worse, that more than a third of Americans still think that Orange Man Trump is an exquisitely able leader — demonstrates just how psychotically mayhem-causing the American ethos is.

 

OMG.
