We're about to do something stupid, aren't we?
Surely the citizenry will not pay the price
It's loyalty pledges I can almost guarantee it.
Yes, but you can pretty much say that every day and be correct under this administration too.
Every day, it is safe to assume that Trump has done something he should be arrested for
Gotta fire all the DEI hires. Not white? You’re outta here. Not male? Outta here. Gay? Outta here.
This meeting would also correspond to the government shutdown (October 1 if a funding bill is not approved). Most likely just a coincidence but I'll put it out there just in case.
There are no coincidences
Everyone knows optimal strategic planning is to gather all your high ranking folks in one place but then also make sure you tell everyone ahead of time that all your leadership will be in that specific place and when they will be there.
And possibly more crucially, broadcast to whoever the US is fighting across the globe that leadership will be absent and probably quite busy at a very specific time...
This is probably an idea the Putin sold to Trump...
Cleanest of opsec
Let's see current events are likely government shutdown, Russian incursions into NATO airspace, Trump suddenly supports Ukraine, national guard deployments internally, and of course purges. Anything I miss from project 2025?
Loyalty pledge to Trump or get dishonorable discharged on the spot.
Hell of a way to kick off a coup.
Ba'ath Party 1979 style.
Hopped up on Charlie Kirk emotions and shoot too early.

There's a lot of dangerous plates we're juggling right now
Idiot probably just Reply All’d.
Seems like a huge security risk to gather all those high profile commanders in one place.
Sort of? It's not like anyone would, or even could, do anything about it
The real problem is the chaos of pulling all of these people off of their jobs to appease toddlers. These people actually have shit to do
Ahh... One can dream! Thanks for this noce thought before bedtime.
Looking forward to tomorrow's news ;)
Is the polygraph machine getting cold?
He's pretty much gonna consolidate military per by reducing top generals and doing the loyalty test.
Consolidation of power.
They will be playing the imperial March as they arrive
