A second fatal shooting by immigration agents spurs anger in the US, China’s top military general is ousted, and Donald Trump threatens Canada with tariffs.
I disagree on the MAGA part. MAGA is currently preparing for a coup, so they need ideologically compliant sycophants at the top levels of power. That’s not paranoia; it’s a pragmatic and effective strategy.
Disagree all you want. They fired plenty of military staff and even been polygraphing non-military staff trying to root out the constant leaks from their ranks. The coup is largely over already.
“Strongmen” always do. Maga is largely in it as well currently.

For what it is worth USA did require a purge before entering the bold civil oppression phase.
Indeed.
If Maga were either pragmatic or effective they would not need to constantly purge.
So this new general is joining a long line of no-longer-useful 2nd in commands just like Trotsky, Ernst Röhm, and Prigozhin.
