Thank you for this info It gives me hope that some people really know what's going on. I know some Maga's and they scare me. Head in the sand is the only way I can describe them. I hope this country can come out of this.
Thanks Ken & Denver: Great informative session . Trumps actions and orders are taking the USA right off the world stage.. I hope and pray the military has a few Generals that can keep Trump out of the situation rooms and in his play pen.
Thankfully, the military leaders who were coordinating the airman’s rescue used their phenomenal strategic panning sans the whacko in chief. They knew they needed to do and did it spectacularly without Stumble bum Donnie. Thanks to all of the dedicated military who brought this man home.
Thanks for another good one, Ken. One of the major reasons I like this show/podcast is the lack of hyperbole in discussing defense and military issues with people who know the ropes. I have learned, and continue to learn, so much, and it's super-engaging to listen to a discussion that is relevant, direct and informative--even though much of it is assessment and opinion. Keep it up, please!
I believe Ukraine is already making security deals with countries in the Middle East, and the UAE is questioning the point of even having US bases in their country.
Re: US rejection of Ukraine advice on drones: When their help might result in the obsolescence of drone supplies owned by Trump family interests, it clearly would be rejected by Trump.
We all appreciate what you are doing. How can people power in USA assist in getting rid of this perilous regime. Here's a thought and please give us a feedback. We need to tie Trumps and the regimes hand in USA.
Of course, shutting down business national strikes, boycotts, walkouts these are all really snappy and needed!! So these actions need to be paired with a more specific action. It is our gov’t and our nations capital lets not forget it!
So here is a thought for Both before and after the dust settles, Trump and regime is gone…This is how we pick up the pieces, we start now in Public View
Many believe that we’re at as crossroads on several levels in our country and its functionability is in question even after the regime is gone On issue…One issue is that money and the inequality it has led to has completely corrupted our lives, governmental, and political system nationally, even within rural states the dark money has corrupted. What may be needed is a new vision and a short cut to bring about a major course correction, rather than waiting a decade or decades. We cannot afford to wait and play the same old game based on influence and money pedaling
Strikes and Boycotts need to be paired with a clear path to how we legislate our future. We cannot depend on the current congress, of course there’s some good folks in it but others will need to be pushed along by the millions of Americans that have sat down stood up and worked out a new structural design. What may be needed
A Constitutional Gathering like a No Kings rally but a(convention-like) We the people are at a crossroads. A Reimagining and Rebuilding Of Democracy for all to participate in and see
Where is our Courage and Bravery ?
A well organized nonviolent resistance occupation of and at our Nations Capital,Washington DC. But every effort is needed to use legal and judicious purpose to create a new vision, by the people, a democracy that we all feel good about and serves a muti-national-racial, white, black and in between America. There’s work ahead to move us forward not back over the course of summer and fall this does not have to happen at DC. But all national organizations, + any Americans that need to be heard ,Indivisible, No Kings, Move On, Existentialist Republic, ACLU, SPLF, all forward thinking Progressives in Congress, whether former Republican or Democrat, to name several, will sketch out a constitutional outline, a legislative plan to move the USA ahead toward a constitutionally socialized democratic society.. On issue, one issue is the money, corruption in both parties ,and the inequality that it has led us to.. I know that Indivisible/No Kings / and other orgs already have plan outlines we can work from and discuss
This action would work best with a rotating group of several hundred thousand to a million folks. However, as new folks came some could go home. Contacts and support from DC residents and businesses would be critical. Local people and businesses could support us, a small army of porta-potties, could be on hand. A well thought out plan could be put in place, have teams of people take responsibility for a variety of daily tasks, sanitation health, and safety patrols. Daily exercise programs.
Keep in mind the non-violent resistance occupation of our National Gov’t is the effort, and the additional aim is to clearly state: This current regime is legally unacceptable and it must leave permanently or be removed because of its criminal behaviors. These behaviors disregard our laws and directly harm citizens, immigrants and those waiting to be legally here. This regime without the authority of congress has totally dismantled the existing departments that keep the smooth flow of our country alive and has started a war with Iran that has NO intention or plan on to stop. Our occupation has no plan to leave until this regime is dismantled or permanently leaves and all military conflicts cease.
While all this is going on, speakers could be addressing the crowds, some entertain of course.
But the work, the work lies ahead. It is up to the people here to build the vision, and show the path ahead that needs to be taken in order to have this vision come true. There will be discussions amongst the group. Cell phones could be employed, text messages in order to come to group consensus, etc. A small team of computer folks can gather data and tally vote outcomes on issues, keep the operation on the straight and narrow as we move along from issue to issue and their resolution in order to bring that vision to fruition.
Another strategy and a clear path to more rapid change from this plan: if all these organizations come together represented in DC at an event likes been envisioned and spend some months working out details. Congress whenever it became functional again could not ignore all the efforts that we the people have contributed and done. this should be a live event for months, restructuring our government making it more streamlined useful in providing essential funding resources through new legislation that would go to supporting a young growing nation that is providing services for all folks and not just enriching the few.
We have a demented, mad man as president surrounded by a bunch of unqualified, weak cowards who are destroying our country as well as many other countries. I believe we are starting WW3 in a nuclear armed world. The entire world is now dealing with US stupidity. We are a pariah to the rest of the planet. What comes next is terrifying.
Trump will go down as the worst president in history. Though let’s be honest, as far as exposing the fault lines in our country, and our politicians in government, he takes the award because he sure does take advantage of the loopholes. Trumpism has made us very aware of what needs to be done to stop it from happening again. We’ve been complacent and now we have years of work ahead to take back what’s ours. They work for us and we need to make sure they don’t forget it.
Thank you for this info It gives me hope that some people really know what's going on. I know some Maga's and they scare me. Head in the sand is the only way I can describe them. I hope this country can come out of this.
And where is that airmen now?

Incompetent cabinet, aides and toadies noticing Dumpster is incompetent. You can’t make these things up!

Absolute ditto! Great discussions by folks who KNOW.

Situation normal with rump...
All F'd up!
Remember rump-Epstein Files!
IMPRISON MOLLESTERS NOW!
We have a demented, mad man as president surrounded by a bunch of unqualified, weak cowards who are destroying our country as well as many other countries. I believe we are starting WW3 in a nuclear armed world. The entire world is now dealing with US stupidity. We are a pariah to the rest of the planet. What comes next is terrifying.
Why are we not hearing of the airmen, like their names and how they're doing. Boots on the ground will result in more American deaths.
Trump will go down as the worst president in history. Though let’s be honest, as far as exposing the fault lines in our country, and our politicians in government, he takes the award because he sure does take advantage of the loopholes. Trumpism has made us very aware of what needs to be done to stop it from happening again. We’ve been complacent and now we have years of work ahead to take back what’s ours.

I wish you two guys were running things at the Pentagon and not the big clown who quotes Pulp Fiction.
