They departed Texas 5 days ago.
What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel.

(2,655 posts)Trump parade. He is just hijacking it and putting his name on it.
The Army applied for permits and funds to do this long before Trump was even elected. Trump is just doing what Trump does, and that is trying to make it about himself since it falls on his birthday.

and running the motherfucker over before anyone else can do anything about it.......
Is here going to be there in person, observing?? Asking for a friend...
Secret Service can't stop tanks, no matter how hard they try!
And if it actually happened, I would say GOD BLESS AMERICA! We're GREAT AGAIN!!!!!

(638 posts)dozens or hundreds of armored vehicles and tanks, in plain sight, without causing serious alarm. They're selling it as a parade. And there will probably be a parade. But that equipment will then never leave. It will lie in wait for martial law to protect the palace of the elite.

The birthday parade is cover. If 250 tanks rolled into DC without reason, people would notice. The parade gives them a plausible reason.
The riots in LAPD (there will soon be others) will escalate thanks to paid agitators and give DC a reason to declare martial law. The military equipment in DC will be used to secure and defend the powers that be.
When they said "Trump 2028" they were not joking about it.

(24,788 posts)and not just a normal, pre-planned movement of equipment?
We can't be this gullible, folks. Where is the proof?
I'm going to go to Google Earth and see if I can find that exact perspective.

(2,099 posts)Tanks are commonly transported by rail. When they arrive in DC there will be LOTS of pictures. They will have to be staged near the parade route.
Don't jump the gun. It's going to be an exhausting week, at best.

They also dont look like them.
I'm not saying this is not true but those arent tanks, I also didn't see any Bradley's although it does look like some of them have plugs where the cannon goes. Still not sure what vehicles the big green ones are though.
Also, the washington monument is at least a mile away from the train tracks so I dont think it would look so big and the train tracks stop north east of the monument so they are not moving to the DC train yard but away from it.
I think there is a possibility its a fake video after further looking into it. I could be wrong but.
