Trump SUMMONS SECRET Meeting as His TERM SPIRALS - Legal AF



Civil Liberties groups are concerned that Trump and his Secretary of "War" Hegseth are bringing 800 generals and admirals together at Quantico base on Tuesday as a preclude to declaring Martial Law and suspending the Constitution in the wake of the Kirk killing.

Michael Popok takes a hard look at the unprecedented move to leave our nation unsafe by pulling the Brass out of war theaters, and not telling them what is about, raising alarms even with MAGA in Congress. - 09/27/2025.

2. Is it a Loyalty Test, a National Security Risk or the Decapitation of U.S. Military Leadership?

Followed by a military-backed coup?

Risk of Leadership Decapitation if Attacked:

Pulling nearly all U.S. flag officers into one physical location at the same time creates a real vulnerability if a foreign adversary chose that moment to strike.

Why it’s risky

Decapitation risk: A single missile, drone, or terror attack could disable a huge portion of U.S. military leadership at once. Normally, flag officers are dispersed precisely to avoid this scenario.

Continuity of command: If a large share of senior commanders were killed or cut off, chain-of-command continuity could be disrupted, at least temporarily, which is dangerous in a crisis.

Targeting signal: By publicizing that hundreds of generals/admirals are gathering at Quantico, it advertises a potential high-value target. Even without a strike, adversaries might use the opportunity to test U.S. readiness elsewhere.

In modern times, this is unprecedented — both in size and risk profile. Standard practice for the last 70+ years has been to avoid consolidating senior command in one vulnerable location.

RWers always deflect onto others what they want to do.

Russia is challenging NATO. shithole advised President Z it's ok to strike Moscow. Blowing up small boats, killing. Threatening Valenzuela of military attacks from the USA, et al.

Military force in US's cities, majority of the mayors are Democrats. Indicting Comey, threatening to do the same to the Opposition, and the 6 US SC justices giving him his heart desires.

All of which is shithole's doing. shithole is attacking his own country.
