We are coming up on the one-year anniversary of the drone strike against Solemanei. It seems that the Administration/Pentagon is expecting retaliation before Trump leaves office.

I can't get past the paywall. Can you share more details?

I’ve never seen them there before. How can the military just put missiles someplace without even telling the public? And there’s no one even guarding them! What if terrorists steal one and try to set it off??? What is happening?!?!?!

I’m calling Senator Chris Van Hollen’s office right now.

The constant helicopter flights are bad enough, but now we’ve got nuclear weapons getting installed in Potomac now? Oh HELL no!

Jeff just said those have been there for a long time.

What would be the point of starting a war with Iran days before leaving office? Then the MAGA crowd would not be able to say he was the last president to not start a war.

Maybe. My high-ranking neighbor has been going to work this week, after they stayed in town when originally they were supposed to be gone.

And then there's the fact that the Pentagon cut off contact with the Biden transition.

And you’re ok with that?

I don’t know/care how long they’ve been there. It’s not alright to have a missile base near where so many people live! I thought they put these things out in the middle of the country where no one lives - in the Dakotas or places like that. I’m assuming they did that back then because missiles were probably bigger and used underground control centers. So I guess it’s reasonable to assume that they’ve gotten smaller since the cold war but, seriously, why base them in essentially the middle of a city? That’s insane!

Doesn't have to be a coup for Trump to want his military plans kept secret from Biden's. Just your basic unpopular/unwise military action would be reason enough.

No. We won’t. The military will support and defend the constitution. Every Military Officer I know despises Trump. Even the hard core Republicans. If there is a coup attempt, the National Guard will quickly squash it.

It looks like that again now.

Bookmark this post - we are about to start another war. Probably with Iran, with the Israelis helping. Or maybe even against China and Russia. Something is going to happen, and soon.

I think it’s not going to a war outside the country - it’s going to be internal. He’s planning on staging a coup. And clearly the military has his back.

Military hates him.

Nope.

The military is a million-plus people. I doubt you know all of them. And it’s pretty likely the ones you know would’ve been investigated beforehand and left out of any planning because of the reasons you yourself stated. They will be of no consequence. For every decent person, there’s probably a dozen or more trump loyalists. Because those are the type of people drawn to war and killing.

They come and go all the time. They are anti-aircraft missile batteries and it is part of the standard operating procedure to deploy them and remove them from military and critical government installations all over. This was a result of 9/11

Stone, Flynn and the Proud Boys will blow something important up and blame Iran. Martial law will ensue.

LOL what are they going to help with...holding our beer? The Israel can not project force. The only thing they can help us with is as a cheerleader.

Are you a missile expert? You said these are anti-aircraft missiles? Like for shooting down airplanes?

They aren’t missiles that carry nuclear bombs?

You know this for sure? How?
