So, will military loyalty and Trump support remain after it becomes clear this administration sees them as nothing more than captured muscle for their organized crime gig?

Pretty straight forward if you ask me. Trump is a Russian asset, so was Epstein. Trump causes a -------- war with Iran so he can deplete our missile stockpiles and get rid is all competent military leadership prior to Russia launching an attack to take back Eastern Europe.

Just wait till we start a war with Canada over the Welland Canal.

It's baffling how Trump got us into two wars and the result is two bodies of water we have no control over drastically effecting our economy and nation.

MAGA is the worst thing to happen to America in my lifetime.

The more we learn about the attacks on the U.S. Naval Support Activity (NSA) in Manama, Bahrain, during the opening days of Operation Epic Fury, the clearer it becomes why the news of its near destruction was not initially reported or acknowledged.
Extensive damage to one of our most significant forward bases in the Middle East is likely to have profound tactical and strategic repercussions that are only now coming into focus.
The idea that this broad functioning hub, built over decades, was significantly degraded in the space of a few days by a regional player is unimaginable.

Why couldn't Roofie Pete's testosterone boosters keep American military bases from being annihilated?
