Defense Secretary Calls Turmoil On America’s Streets A ‘Battlespace’ To ‘Dominate’

Defense Secretary Mark Esper described American streets, which have become the site of protests and riots over the death of unarmed black man George Floyd, as a “battlespace” to “dominate” in a call on Monday.

“I think the sooner that you mass and dominate the battlespace, the quicker this dissipates and we can get back to the right normal,” Esper said in a White House call with governors, according to audio obtained by the Washington Post.

1. ALL HELL IS GOING TO BREAK LOOSE IF THE MILITARY FIRES ON CIVILIANS.

Get ready for it.

[Alacritous Crier]

3. True that.

10. Sooner or later

It's coming, whether now, this summer, or in November.
The #IPOTUS wants a fight as long as he can hide far from it.
On his wacked-out call with the governors today, he suggested that protesters be jailed for ten years.
Crazy? Certainly, but he's in charge of the military and law enforcement.

It won't take much for fascism to be officially codified in our country - just a whole lot of blood and bodies. Don't think it can't nor won't happen.

11. I am fast becoming a separatist.

[samsingh]

2. Yes, this.

[katmondoo]

4. I am afraid he will go crazy tonight and fire on the protesters. Will the military do it?

[superpatriotman]

5. Yes

Chain of command, duty, honor, etc.

Of course they will.

8. There is no Honor...just murderers in uniform!!!!

There is no honor in the US military that fires on the very same American citizens they claim to protect.

Just as there was nothing honorable about the German Einsatzgruppe who murdered Russian Jews...

[roamer65]

9. If they do, it's going to real ugly, real fast.

[grumpyduck]

6. Didn't Stalin kill about six million of his own people?

7. Jesus

“The sooner that you mass and dominate the battlespace, the quicker this dissipates.”

Oh really.

Setting aside the utterly shocking description of American streets as the “battlespace,” when was the last time that an armed force successfully managed to “dissipate” a situation like this by “dominating” it?

16. Tienanmen Square? (nt)

[Solly Mack]

12. The "right" normal?

Hmm.

Damn

[Skittles]

13. we don't WANT the "right normal"

we want the LEFT normal

[Skraxx]

14. Here he comes, speaking soon to make it officially official

[muriel_volestrangler]

15. This is scary, because it's not just the orange Bunker Chicken flapping his beak

Esper is competent.

"Mass and dominate the battlespace" is what the Chinese PLA did in Tienanmen Square. The USA may need Tank Men to risk their lives.
