What if Trump ordered US military to stand down during Russian or Chinese military attack/invasion of US homeland?
Posted on
I find some conspiracy theories entertaining to think about if nothing else. This IS NOT one though. This is just me thinking too much during our social distancing lock down.
Our nation is in an utter state of cluster-fuckedrey regarding a timely, coherent, well planned and organized plan in dealing with the pandemic. Greedy globalization by big US money has left us in a very precariously venerable situation in dealing with our current pandemic requirements, with the current state of the world trade, etc.
How would the Trump administration deal with a US military invasion from, say Russia, China, or some combined effort?
I believe Trump is possibly a Russian asset. Surrendering to a Russian invasion in my mind is not unthinkable. Trump would come out number 2 under Putin, and no longer have the constraints of an opposing political party. The big money of the former US could more easily exploit a workforce without US protections.
Some things leading to these thoughts are:
Trumps seemingly deliberate ignoring and discounting the seriousness of covid-19 that allowed it's spread across the country prior to taking any serious action
The continued lack of a major US federally implemented "attack" plan dealing with covid-19 that includes use of the wartime manufacturing act and other military logistical capacities.
The political division he promotes weakens our ability to come together as a nation, even in the face of a pandemic.
The recent news of the navy carrier covid-19 situation along with the thought of covid-19 infection and disruption of a normal military response.

My Trump's a "Russian asset" theory expands deep within the republican party leaders via monetary and future political promises, so they would not allow impeachment.
How could the US military respond to such a situation? Would a stand down order require the approval of military leaders and could they over ride Trump?
