If Cates's second post is true, there's only one thing that can do what he's describing, and that's devolution. And if that's the case, we are right about 89 days away from finding out, because that would put us at 1/21/2022, exactly one year after Buyden's "inauguration," and exactly one year after devolution under the Law of War Manual would be set to end. Can't remember off the top of me head, but the LWM ref is 11.4. Either way, we've come this far and waited this long, I'm cool with waiting another 89 days to see if this is all what we think it is.
