Maybe not yet, General. But you can sure as hell see it from where you’re standing.

The civilians politicians , along with all their stupid ideologies and agendas , are bringing America to a state of national dissolution and demise . What traditions are worth risking the loss of everything we have ever been , or ever will be , on the alter of that shameless anti-American sacrifice ?

When I consider most of the Officers I have known, I have no desire to have them run the government. If you love living on a base, you’ll love the military coup government.

Sure they will, because that is what we have become.

What separates the third world from the first world is the rule of law and Western culture, and both have disappeared in our societies.

Interestingly, Bolivia has a government much in sync with Corbyn.

It should be noted that at one point, the EU considered dividing England into three different parts added to “chunks of other countries to create “transnational regions”.

Under the programme, known as INTER-REG, counties along England’s south coast form the “Manche Region” along with northern France.

The “Atlantic Region” takes in western England, along with Ireland, Wales and parts of Portugal, Spain, France and Scotland.

Meanwhile eastern England is part of the “North Sea Region”, which covers areas of Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, Norway and the Netherlands.

The UK Government is fully behind the project, even though the words “England” and “Britain” are left off official maps of each area and the Manche Region renames the English Channel “The Channel Sea”.

Each region, which will be given taxpayers’ money to promote trade links, cultural ties, transport policies and tourism, is to be run by a “managing authority” of unelected officials overseen by a director.

None will be based in the UK, with Manche ruled by the French, Atlantic by the Portuguese and North Sea by the Danes.

TL;DR - Both the Tories and Labour are happy to end England as a nation, having no loyalty to their country. So who is left but the military to defend their nation?

My experience has been the same. People who know nothing but the military from the time they are children are not necessarily folks you’d want to live under. There are plenty of good guys (Mixon, Pace, Mundy, Boykin) but there are also the Mike Mullins of the world.

Interesting comments that echo what my Dad told me. When he was drafted out of a factory in 1942, he was a strong Democrat and New Dealer. It was his experience in the Army that eventually led him to conservatism.

“It should be noted that at one point, the EU considered dividing England into three different parts added to “chunks of other countries to create “transnational regions’.”

What you said is untrue. Someone lied to you. These transnational regions have been in effect for many years, and have to do with cooperation among countries sharing similar features. Examples of these regional cooperatives and the maps can be found here:

http://ec.europa.eu/regional_policy/en/policy/cooperation/european-territorial/trans-national/

“Transnational cooperation, know as Interreg B, involves regions from several countries of the EU forming bigger areas. It aims to promote better cooperation and regional development within the Union by a joint approach to tackle common issues. Interreg B supports a wide range of project investment related to innovation, environment, accessibility, telecommunications, urban development etc. The transnational programmes add an important extra European dimension to regional development, developed from analysis at a European level, leading to agreed priorities and a coordinated strategic response.”

Don’t fall prey to conspiracies by believing third-hand reports or outright propaganda.

The traditional British way of doing this would involve Princes William and Harry. Her majesty would abdicate the throne and bypass Charles (unless he ended up face first in a vat of wine), naming William the new King. He would immediately travel to likely Canada, appointing Prince Harry as the “Lord Protector”, much like Cromwell.

Then Harry would act by edict, with the military to enforce his edicts. His first act would be to dissolve parliament, and imprison any who resisted. The military commanders would be authorized to conscript civilians as needed, and to bust up any protests or riots, as well as conduct summary trials and executions.

The armies of the western democracies, especially the USA, are too socially, racially, political, ethnically, economically and ideologically fragmented to implement and sustain a coup. Such intergration would prevent any one or small group of officers from even being able to organize a coup.

Sounds like US of A, only w/Republicrats and Democans.

Jeremy Corbyn is a total walking disaster.

There’s no way he’s ever going to be elected Prime Minister, the notion is not only absurd it’s impossible.
