Purge all commanders?
The call to Quantico.
If you don’t come, I can fire you, if you do come, I can threaten and coerce you. Any resistance will be classed at mutiny!
Senior retired US generals hint at it, foreign politicians refuse to comment, media outlets ask open questions, but no one states the obvious. I have previously stated:
‘Russia is going to invade Ukraine.’
‘Donald Trump is the greatest threat to world peace.’
‘Ukraine is winning the war.’
‘Trump was never shot at. It was a faked.’
‘Western elections are all affected by Russian interference.’
‘All wars lead back to Russia.’
‘Trump is a Russian asset.’
This week, US Secretary of War (!) Pete Hegseth, recently retired Fox News presenter and struggling alcoholic, has commanded all Flag Officers of the US armed forces across the world, from Brigadeer and Captain upwards, to attend a meeting in Quantico, West Virginian on Wednesday 1st October. More than 800 senior commanders from Navy, Army, Air Force and Marines are now leaving their command zones without any explanation.
There is one reason.
To purge the military of all commanders who place their oath of allegiance to the US Constitution before their loyalty to Donald Trump. Trump’s interests will be referred to as ‘The USA’ or ‘The people.’ However, whatever happens in Quantico this week will only be in the interests of Trump and the enemies of the USA.
Hegseth has already implied he wishes to improve efficiency and cut costs by removing 20% of active duty command officers. He has already removed twelve top military commanders without any explanation for resisting a Trump call for loyalty, much the same way and former FBI Director James Comey was removed and discredited.
Hegseth’s call to Quantico will leave the USA headless is every region of the world. No doubt there are very competent second level officers to step into the seats temporarily, but Wednesday will be a good day for Russia, Iran, North Korea, or China to test American interests; if the ‘meeting’ drags out, a test could easily become a crisis. The officers dare not refuse, if they do Hegseth would call it ‘Mutiny.’
The Trump administration controls the legislature with majorities in the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Trump controls the Executive because to all effects Trump is the Executive.
The Judiciary; Trump’s corruption and control of the Supreme Court means there is no legal check over his authoritarian rule.
The only institution with the power to prevent Trump turning the USA into a full fascist dictatorship is the regular military.
Trump tested the national guard by placing it into blue states to impose fear among the people. His ICE agents are Trump’s modern version of nazi brownshirts. They have been given authority and high wages, to arrest and imprison anyone they deem suitable for imprisonment or deportation. Imposing fear and control over the population is their main objective. They have already been pointed at political opponents.
The Police stand by in a state of confusion, watching people assaulted by unidentified masked men and do nothing indicating they have been neutered. ‘None of our business’ they claim.
The FBI under the control of arch liar, Kash Patel is firing anyone who, (under orders) investigated Donald Trump, but Trump hasn’t got the military, and that process is about to come to the fore this week.
Trump only trusts what he can control; he destroys everything he cannot.
Once in Quantico, military leaders can be denied communication with their junior commanders. Cut off from all their usual rights and powers they will be coerced, threatened, or bribed. Loyalty and allegiance to Trump will be the key to survival. Those who resist will be purged on spurious grounds such as age, cost cutting and imagined incompetence. Those who place their careers, pensions and lifestyle ahead of their oaths to the USA will be reduced to the level of undignified yes men and women. Broken lackeys who place self interest ahead of loyalty to their nation.
This is a Stalinist purge. Joseph Stalin removed all of his Generals. Some he killed others he imprisoned. When Germany invaded Russia in 1941, he had to restore the survivors to run his armies. Millions of Russians died because his army was led by political appointees.
Some US officers will resign or take early retirement, a few will resist and be fired. Some might be imprisoned. The remainder and sadly the majority will claim they are apolitical and obliged to obey orders, no matter how illegal they are. They will need convincing, bribing, blackmailing, or coercing. Those who cannot be controlled will be discredited.
Trump is looking weak. His economy is failing, poll ratings are in the gutter, the dollar is dropping, inflation is rising, no one will buy US debt, alliances are fragile, and trust has gone.
No one is stating the obvious. Trump is going the purge his military and turn them into Trump loyalists. Trump is the greatest threat to the USA, and to world peace!

I fear you are entirely correct. I also fear this is a prelude to cancelling the 2026 mid terms. The regime is inciting unrest. Military in Washington and now to be sent to Portland. The deployment of troops domestically is historically one of the most alarming signals in a democracy. Even if framed as “protection,” it creates the justification for normalising military oversight of civil life and laying the groundwork for elections to be “protected,” or suspended.
The state of American civil behaviour is already degenerating into vulgarity. The faux grief over Kirks death, manufactured accusations of hate speech by so called "leftists." Trumps threatened removal of late night show hosts coming to fruition and now his threats of retaliation and, targeting of opponents underlines the risk of “weaponised prosecution,” a tactic common in illiberal regimes, where the rule of law is retained in form but bent in practice. And now this weaponisation is being carried out by his pocket prosecutors on the likes of former FBI director Comey.
Sport is often seen as neutral ground. The spillover of vulgarity and hostility there highlights how everyday rituals that once promoted unity are now arenas of division. This weekend we hear reports of the crowds at a Golf game, normally a benign group only interested in the skill of the competitors being disruptive and targeting European competitors and their families with hate.
The collapse isn’t sudden, it's incremental, a slow normalisation of hostility, distrust, and state intrusion that makes each step feel less shocking than the last meanwhile the USA slowly collapses into a swamp of unregulated, anti science, racist, hateful rhetoric.
Again, a spot-on assessment Robin. The Trump Circus, led by the consummate clown himself, is indeed unleashing the equivalent of a Stalinist purge across the military, political and judicial spectrums of anyone who doesn't fit the Trump Circus mold....
