“At the head of our armed forces are the Awakened,” said former US President Donald Trump on Fox News. "Awakened", or "awakened" (woke) - this is a widespread term today for adherents of the liberal agenda, supporters of the "new normal". The critical racial theory, according to which everyone, everyone, everyone, especially whites, is to blame for the blacks and must atone for this guilt by all available means, cancel culture, #MeToo, admiration for LGBT people and other liberal trends - all this is woke. But what does all this have to do with the military?

You can make sure that Trump really accused the leadership of the US Armed Forces of "vokism" or "awakening" by listening to an interview that the former owner of the White House gave to Unfiltered host Dan Bongino. This interview, by the way, was censored - Trump's press secretary Liz Harrington accused Fox News of cutting out some of the former president's phrases regarding the rigging of the 2020 election results, because after the Democratic "victory" and the inauguration of Sleepy Joe Biden, to doubt the honesty elections are strictly prohibited. But the words about the military, who, instead of defending America, help the Democrats to destroy it, remained in the interview.

“We count on the leadership of our Armed Forces - that they will protect us from very powerful countries such as Russia and China.

These countries don't like us very much, ”Trump said.

Instead, high-ranking military officials are helping the Democrats to "destroy the country."

In any case, such a conclusion can be drawn from Trump's emotional speech (he gave an interview to Bongino by phone).

This is not the first time the ex-president has accused American generals of "vokism".

Back in June, at a rally of thousands of his supporters in Ohio, Trump accused the "weak and ineffective" leadership of the US Armed Forces of being more concerned with "political correctness" than "fighting our enemies."

"The Biden administration is introducing a perverse critical racial theory into our military," Trump said at the time.

"Our generals and admirals are now more focused on this nonsense than our enemies."

Then Trump's ire was caused by the words of the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milli, who defended the study of critical racial theory in the military.

This, in turn, happened after the Pentagon held hearings on the negative perception of the liberal agenda in the troops.

At the hearing, Chief Master Sergeant of the US Army Ramon Colon-Lopez told the generals that the rank and file did not understand why they should study critical racial theory, and asked uncomfortable questions - for example, why the storming of the Capitol on January 6 was considered extremism, but the BLM pogroms were not. ?

“Have you seen these generals on TV lately?

Donald Trump asked his supporters in Ohio.

- They "woke up".

Our military will be unable to fight and obey orders! "

But then the ex-president did not name the "enemies of America" ​​with which the "awakened" generals should fight.

Now, in an interview with Fox News, the names were announced - Russia and China.

For those who thought that Trump was sympathetic to our country, this may come as an unpleasant surprise.

The truth is that Trump has always exploited the image of Russia as some kind of existential threat hanging over the United States in his own interests.

During the 2016 election campaign, he pledged to improve relations with Moscow and personally with Putin in order to reduce the level of danger allegedly threatening Americans and reduce feelings of anxiety among his voters.

Then, when Trump's enemies began to accuse him of the fact that the Russians helped him win the elections, he indignantly rejected these accusations, but not out of sympathy for our country, but solely out of considerations of personal gain.

Now that Biden has reigned in the White House, and Democrats in Congress, it is important for Trump to accuse them of being unable to cope with the enemies that threaten America. It is understood that he, Donald Trump, would be able to organize the leadership of the US Armed Forces in such a way that neither China nor Russia would even dare to look askance at "the greatest country in the world."

But this is just not true. Because none other than Donald Trump, during his time as President of the United States, appointed most of the current and former leadership of the army and navy. Including the notorious chairman of the OKNSH Mark Milli, who was nominated for this post back in December 2018, and US Secretary of Defense Mark Esper. The latter actually betrayed the president at the very beginning of the BLM riots after the death of George Floyd, stating that he opposed the use of the army to restore order in American cities, even under the Rebellion Act of 1807, thereby depriving the president of the most effective tool with which to was to quickly suppress the riots.

Millie also proved to be an unreliable ally.

On June 1, 2020, during the pogroms in Washington, he joined the National Guards in Lafayette Square, and after the police dispersed the crowd of Bielam, he escorted Trump to the Washington Cathedral.

For this, the chairman of the JCC was severely criticized by both prominent Democrats in Congress and liberal journalists.

And the unyielding military general immediately gave the back: he recorded a video message to the students of the Military Academy, in which he apologized for his appearance in Lafayette Square and a walk in the company of the president.

“I shouldn't have been there,” Millie repented with restrained and stern repentance.

"My presence there gave the impression that the military was interfering in the political situation."

But even after that, Trump did not fire him!

Yes, and Mark Esper was dismissed only after the November elections, when it was already too late ...

As for Millie, one of these days a book by two Pulitzer Prize winners, journalists of The Washington Post (a publication traditionally hostile to Trump) will be published in the United States under the pretentious headline "I alone can fix this." CNN has already published the most provocative excerpts from the future "bestseller", the authors of which seek to portray the ex-president as a monster worse than Hitler. According to these excerpts, JCS chairman Mark Milli was “so shocked” by the thought that Donald Trump and his allies “might try to carry out a coup” after a lost election, and that he had “informal negotiations” with other top leaders of the military to ensure that to stop Trump.

"For the first time in modern US history, the country's top military officer, whose role is to advise the president, was preparing to fight the commander-in-chief because he feared an attempted coup after Trump lost the November elections," writes CNN, choking with excitement.

Milli, in particular, discussed the threat of a coup d'etat "with friends, lawmakers and colleagues", believing, however, that Trump would fail.

“You cannot do this without the military,” he argued.

“You can't do this without the CIA and the FBI.

We're guys with guns. "

Moreover, according to the authors of the book, Millie viewed Trump as a "classic authoritarian leader" and compared him with Adolf Hitler, and the attempt to storm the Capitol on January 6 with the burning of the Reichstag.

True, the journalists make a reservation: an anonymous Pentagon spokesman did not confirm the information that Milli allegedly called the president a “Nazi”.

But on the other hand, no one denied the fact of the negotiations that Milli had with other high-ranking military men after the presidential elections and the attempt to seize the Capitol, that is, he actually organized a conspiracy against the still acting head of state.

As well as the fact that, in preparation for the inauguration of Joe Biden, Millie turned to a group of leaders of the armed forces, explaining to them why the troops should blockade Washington.

“Here's the thing, guys: these guys are Nazis, these are the same people we fought in WWII.

A steel ring around this city - and the Nazis will not enter! "

By "Nazis" they meant, of course, Trump supporters.

Well, Trump is right about something. Both Millie (who retained his post under Biden, clearly due to his "politically correct" behavior) and many other top American military leaders wholeheartedly believe in the liberal agenda and defend critical racial theory, as the Democratic Party leaders tell them. So they are definitely "awakened". But who is to blame for the fact that these generals "woke up" just at the moment when Trump needed the support of the army and other security agencies? Why did the same Milli report not to the president, but to Nancy Pelosi (the fact that this elderly lady tried to find out from him the secret algorithm for launching nuclear missiles shocked even some liberals). And why did the weak attempts to change people in key positions in the Pentagon begin to be made only after the November elections?

There are many questions, and, of course, there are answers to them.

Only the former US president is unlikely to like these answers.
