I posted the following in another post, but thought I'd make a separate thread. How might a military intervention happen?
Well, here's the elegance of it...the military doesn't HAVE to occupy the entire country...in fact, they wouldn't WANT to. It's physically impossible AND We The People aren't the problem.
All the military has to occupy is Washington, DC, itself. It's easy to do with enough resources.
The sudden, overnight appearance of a large military presence would catch everyone there by surprise. Checkpoints at every road, interstate, and back street that leads in and out of the Capitol, commandeer the airports, helipads, and Metro rail system, checkpoint guards issued photo wanted posters, door to door house clearing as in Fallujah, and so on.
Regular citizens can go about their business but might have to show IDs a few times a day, but certain politicians and bureaucrats that are on lists evolving from the Durham investigation would be detained and placed in custody, awaiting their day in "court" (tribunal).
The Marine Corps base, Camp Lejeune North Carolina, ""Home of Expeditionary Forces in Readiness," is a mere 350 miles from DC, and could be mobilized quickly...it's in their mission description. The Army base Ft. Bragg, NC, is 325 miles from DC.
These forces could roll into the DC area late one evening and could overnight man all the posts outlined above, issue orders, arrest warrants, and rules of engagement. By early the next morning, DC would wake up to martial law and a new reality.
Treason is no longer in season.
In my opinion, nothing can happen until there is a massive public awakening, outrage so strong that the military has a public mandate to act against the government. How that occurs is up for debate. The "precipice" is a well known concept around here, but what it will be, and when, is still unknown. If it even happens at all.
Anything short of that awakening will lead to civil war and be the final nail in the coffin for the USA.
~99% of the standing military doesn't know anything about a plan, they're not all read-in on some deus ex machina strategy to save the republic. They do their jobs and follow orders as they are trained to do. The vast majority of them know less about current events than whoever is reading this. I know this from personal experience.
I think the military IS the only way. Just not in a conventional sense, at least not at first.
This is an information war so don't expect regular military forces to storm the capital anytime soon. The war has to be all but over before real kinetic action is taken.
