The most significant history that has been buried is that the USA came under a Soviet cabal during the FDR administration.
This included “Co-president” and Svengali, Harry Hopkins, as well as Harry Dexter White, Alger Hiss and possibly hundreds of others, especially if including media.
The FDR administration totally subordinated United States interests to those of the Stalin—giving away half of Europe, all of China and the A-Bomb.
Up to 20,000 American servicemen were abandoned to the Soviet slave labor camps in Siberia (Gulags) after the war.
Civil war I? No, never a threat to the Union. WWI? Germany could never influence US independence. WWII? Neither Japan nor Germany could actually defeat the US to render the nation subject to their will.
How about your point? Let's assume it's 100% true - what is the outcome? Did they fundamentally alter the US to the point that it was dictated by a power outside constitutional channels? I would say no; heavily corrupter, perhaps, but the USSR was eventually defeated.
Now, let's address the attempted coup by the traitor Hussein. He came extremely close to toppling established constitutional precedent by which the sovereign aka We the People select their own government. Compared to all other threats to national sovereignty, I would suggest Hussein represented the greatest threat to US freedom & independence since the original revolution against GB.
In this context, Trump really doesn't have a voice in the matter. He must, as he is sworn to do, uphold his constitutional oath of office to defend the nation against enemies foreign and domestic. If he fails to prosecute the war effectively, other channels of responsibility must assume that authority.
That being said, I think this thought process is what Trump has really been waiting for. If you knew all the facts 2 years ago, and the seriousness of the threat in the context of historical conflicts as summarized above, then your objective would be to lead some majority of the population to the same conclusions.
This could be FR's greatest role, to help flesh out the logic of why prosecution must be carried out, and to help develop public support for actions that require extreme prejudice.
