He's lost them. Threats against non violent civilians do not sit well with career military. They do what they do to to protect civilians, not attack them.
There is no threat against non-violent civilians. The takeover of the area now known as autonomous zone IS VIOLENCE, as are the extortions of business owners, to pay for "protection", as are the now racist demands that white occupiers each pay $10 to a black occupier, or person of color. And these are just the abuses we know of.
The civilians living in the autonomous zone, and having businesses there, being extorted, and being deprived of police protection, are the civilians who need to be protected, not the criminal occupiers. Trump needs to send the military in to protect THEM.
As for the opinions of the
"military leadership", do you have a source/link on that ? Got their NAMES and RANKS ?..or do you just throw in the phrase "military leadership" and let it go at that ?
