1. He has to start a war.

Sometime in October.

[smirkymonkey]

4. Unfortunately, I am afraid that is going to prove all too true.

He will have to in order to create another, larger distraction from this.

[Locrian]

8. quite possibly what he discussed with putin - n/t

[exboyfil]

2. Iran has suddenly become an existential threat

[Farmer-Rick]

3. I'm thinking Russian troops will be landing soon

If short little Putin moves troops into the White House to protect Trump from the American people, who is going to stop them?

[Lee-Lee]

6. The entire US military

[Farmer-Rick]

9. I hope you are right

But what if their Commander and Chief orders them to stand down?

And of course no one would know Trump ordered them to stand down. The orders to the military will come from their officers, their Chiefs and Sergeants. It wont be identified as an order from the traitor in the White House. In fact it would be the opposite of an order, all that would be needed is that NO Orders be given.

Putin could put his troops all around the white house - for Trump and Malaria's protection from angry Americans of course - and we would only realize it the next morning, after it is a done. We have a traitor and foreign asset as our president after a clearly rigged election. If we can live with that, I'm sure we can live as an occupied nation.

12. You assume everyone in the military is an unthinking robot?

The Military takes an oath that is first and foremost to the Constitution. In fact while the oath taken by enlisted service members mentions following orders of the President the oath taken by officers does not, by design.

The senior leadership of the US Military is very well educated, experienced and has dedicated all their adult lives to upholding their oath to the Constitution. They would not see such orders and lawful and would not follow them.

16. After over 20 years in the Navy, no I don't think of us as unthinking robots.

But sometimes information is garbled and the vast majority of people I knew in the Navy were admitted Republicons.

I use to swear in enlisted members into service at the MEPS. I use to say it 3 times a day. I have the oath memorized.

But having worked in the Pentagon, I know senior military leadership is just as political as some of those senators. Yes, we all took an oath but some take the oath seriously and some not so much. And it wouldn't have to be a conscious traitorous decision. It's not like leadership normally explains their orders. It could be something as simple as moving troops to out of the way locations so they don't see what is happening. Then they spin it the next morning, just like they are doing now.

But eventually I suspect, the military will figure it out.

[duforsure]

5. I fear a major cyber attack

With trump helping them. Then accuse others.

[Lee-Lee]

7. Taking down the power grid and blaming North Korea

Would be a perfect distraction.

[superpatriotman]

10. IRAN!

I'd put all my chips on it.

[uponit7771]

11. Frog nuke

[dalton99a]

13. More tax cuts - Republicans will push another round through before Democrats retake the House

[kentuck]

14. They will decide by this evening that they need to end the investigation.

would be my guess.

[maryellen99]

15. Russia invading the Baltics nt

[Farmer-Rick]

17. Oh, yes very likely.

[Totally Tunsie]

18. The region, especially beautiful Estonia, is expecting it and getting ready.

[Iggo]

19. I thought this WAS the distraction.

[Bucky]

20. Agree. While we're getting upset about the words he said...

They're going after Medicaid and Social Security and putting the fix in on the 2020 Census
