Instead of parachuting in troops, Hair Furor might have decided to go the carpet bombing route. Minnesota better get its ack-ack ready.

Either way, it's good news for Minnesotans, JPW.
We must monitor the 11th Airborne and the 10th Mountain Divisions for training exercises or arctic expeditions.

Or . . . did the Northern Command give Trump notice that they would NOT be obeying an illegal command?

@#1 ... Hmmmm deescalation or did they get so much pushback from the military that they had to back down? ...
Yeah, that's the first question that I had when I read this.
A secondary question for me is...
Was this also due to the huge public outcry of the killing of American citizens by Pres Trump's militia?
imo, the above aside, this is not a retreat by Pres Trump. It looks more like a regrouping for more attacks.
Yeah, and if that sounds like a war strategy, maybe it may be apropos to think about Pres Trump declaring war on America citizens whose political opinions he disagrees with.

@#9 ... HANG BY THE NECK UNTIL YOU ARE DEAD, ...
Is that not similar to what Pres trump told the J6 rioters to do to VP Pence?
Trump expressed support for hanging Pence during Capitol riot, Jan. 6 panel told (2022) www.politico.com
... The Jan. 6 select committee has heard testimony indicating that then-President Donald Trump " after rioters who swarmed the Capitol began chanting "hang Mike Pence" " expressed support for hanging his vice president, according to three people familiar with the matter. The White House chief of staff at the time, Mark Meadows, was in the dining room off the Oval Office with Trump at one point during last year's Capitol attack, the committee has been told. Meadows then left the dining room and informed other people nearby that Trump had signaled a positive view of the prospect of hanging the vice president, the panel heard. Meadows' account as it was described to the committee came after some members of the mob converging on the Capitol had broken into chants of "Hang Mike Pence!" Those chants were a reaction to Pence's decision to accept electoral votes that indicated Joe Biden had won the presidency. POLITICO could not independently verify the veracity of the claim regarding Meadows' comments. ...
