Peter Navarro, Roger Stone, Flynn and others have been carted off in SWAT raids in handcuffs behind the back so they might fall unprotected on their face, and in ankle shackles. As a gesture, they did not get hoods tied over their heads [I believe].
If I was them, President Trump [duly elected but cancelled by the Democrat deep state election swindle crime scene] and others, I would not see Russia and Putin as my primary enemies. In fact I would not see Putin as an enemy at all and would see Russia as an excellent supplier of this, that and the other, as well as customer for that, this and other stuff. Not to mention suitable employees and generally nice people to provide accommodation and food should I choose to go traveling there. With exceptions of course.
If I was American, I would be getting very well armed, with defensible positions, and supplies, ready for civil war number 2. I guess that a LOT of MAGA people are getting very annoyed. BLM, Antifa and co have done a spot of rioting, looting, murdering. Amateurs. When push comes to shove, a well-regulated militia will march into Washington [or drive in large SUVs more likely, or both] and reset to enforce the constitution.
Biden claimed that such a rag-tag army of militia couldn't take on the might of the USA military. He doesn't understand how such things work. The local policeman is very tough when cornering a single suspect with dozens of backup and air cover. A well-regulated militia is a different kettle of fish. An atomic bomb, tank, Tomahawk, moab, and whatnot are not much use against such because the militia know where the police and drone pilot live and can go knock on their door. The USA military and police combined do not have 10 million employees and half of those they do have would be on the MAGA side anyway.
USA needs an orange revolution, just like Libya, Syria, umbrellas in Hong Kong, Belaruss, Kiev, Georgia etc. I'm sure a LOT of Americans are fed up to the back teeth. It takes a lot to get them riled up but when they are, things could change very fast. The disaffected while separated can be dismissed as loony fringe = Ron Paul, Rand Paul, Timothy McVeigh,, Ted Kaczynski [whose manifesto read very like Al Gore's, amusingly], Malcolm X, Martin King, but electorally or otherwise, when they get the numbers, things change fast. When elections are fake, other means become necessary. I disagree with Ted Kaczynski, and the Amish, but I understand their points of view and agree that we are building a vast experiment, which some fear will end in It aka AI taking over and rendering us down to tallow and protein.
We've always been in an experiment as we can see by comparing selves with chimps = we've come a long way Baby. We don't know where we're going but we're on our way. The industrial revolution replaced our muscles, and we're now way down the line in replacing our brains. Decades ago, the non-thinking brain functions such as welding cars and running production lines became automated. I recall 30 years ago visiting an engineering workshop in Auckland. A man was setting up a machine to do metal working. He put in the metal rod to be machined, the tools to do the machining, then turned it on. The computers in Germany told the machine what to do in an automated process. As each piece was finished and dropped into the collector, the computer would push the rod along ready to start again. I have done plenty of such work and it's very boring, but what's nice about it is one's mind is totally free to think about anything as, like driving when well-skilled, one's mind is free to roam. A machine is much cheaper than having somebody standing there mindlessly going through the motions.
Now though, cognitive function is being done increasingly by computers. Not very well as we hear every time we phone a business to try to communicate with them and have to deal with idiot AI answering the phone. Tesla spends giga$bucks on AI to drive their cars but my experience is that while they might be nearly as good as the more useless drivers, and of course have fantastic reaction time and attention span, they are no good at the psychological part of driving = giving a wave to another motorist to go ahead, or a pedestrian to cross, or millions of possible perturbations.
