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.
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!
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

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.

And then there's the fact that the Pentagon cut off contact with the Biden transition.
Damn... we’re about to have a coup.
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.

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.

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.
