I wonder how the US military will react when they will be ordered to attack a previously friendly nation like Canada or Greenland, or to help and support a previous enemy like Russia in its wars against Europe.

I wonder how they'll react when ordered to attack American citizens on American soil just because they offended Trump's fragile ego or psychotic xenophobia. Judges, journalists, protestors, "gays", anyone with brown skin? Here's hoping they'll refuse, but who really knows for sure?

  We have a front row seat to see how it all played out in Germany a century ago. It gives us a better understanding of how people cowardly and pathetically turned on each other and their neighbors. Hopefully the end doesn't have the same conclusion (except for Germany losing of course). It's up to everyone here and now to make a difference in how this nonsense plays out.

The honourable ones step down. Eventually, someone obeys.

Same way as when they bombed water sanitation and other vital civilian infrastructure or weddings. "Yeee-haw america fuck yeah" Maybe it is finally dawning on the murricans themselves that they really are the assholes the rest of the world think of them as

  One of my favorite fictional characters is Sam Becker from Far Cry 3. He is the son of a US Navy SEAL who was stationed in Germany, which is circumstantially why he speaks German fluently and English with a very heavy German accent while still being a True American Patriot. Playing through the story, the player will get a mission to burn a farm (for reasons I don't remember) with Sam's help. This culminates in a large explosion that sets most of the farm ablaze, with Sam Becker yelling in his thick, German accent, "Fuck yeah! America!" while the player character drives away from the scene. (This particular moment was hilarious to me, hence why I like the character.) This administration really puts a spotlight on that character. But not in a funny way.
