@rbreich Yo Bob, take your optimism and stick it where the sun don't shine. We're in throes of a civil war, yammering from atop your high horse in academia isn't going to stop #MAGAmoron from ordering #troops, #sheriffs and #cops to fire at will into crowds of protestors. I hope you know how to protect yourself when they show up to march you off to a concentration camp.
No suprise here, Trump didn't know what he was talking about.
"Kremlin dismisses Trump’s claim that Russia would accept peacekeeping troops in Ukraine. Russia has not changed position on foreign troops in Ukraine, Peskov indicated."

The two were already at odds over #Trump’s desire to use the #InsurrectionAct to deploy active duty #troops to rein in the protesters, a move that Gen #Milley & then #Defense Secy Mark Esper had vehemently opposed.
Trump would never trust either man again.
Trump would later fire Esper (by tweet). As for Gen Milley, Trump would eventually suggest he should be put to death.
