Retired general warns the U.S. military could lead a coup after the 2024 election

17. I have been saying that for a long time, the military is a totalitarian regime by nature

The danger is that all dictatorships succeed because the military easily aligns to the regime, they benefit from the totalitarian regime, and the signs I have been seeing for a while point to the military becoming complicit with republicans to implement a totalitarian regime in the USA.

Look at Venezuela, the regime is successful because the military has aligned to them, with a patriotic military a totalitarian regime would never succeed. Has anyone asked the question of why hasn't the military recalled Michael Flynn? Their duty is to recall a traitor, why have they not done it? I understand his brother is brass in the military. but that should not be a pretext, treason must be punished, no matter who the traitor is.

Those generals are correct, the USA is on the edge and if the military aligns with the GOP that is it, that is the end of Democracy in the USA.

I don't buy the following statement in the article:
"I believe that we need to wargame the possibility of a problem and what we are going to do. The fact that we were caught completely unprepared – militarily, and from a policing function – on January 6, is incomprehensible to me."

I believe there was coordination between the military and the GOP, a minimum would be that orders were made to not act, and they obeyed those orders, which makes them complicit.
