At least 6 California cities have recently been sites for military urban warfare exercises.
Residents have been distressed by low flying helicopters and simulated gunfire and explosions.
Exercises have gone into the early morning hours. They are described by the military as "normal".
I may be uninformed, but this is the first time I've ever heard of exercises in residential areas. Military bases have training facilities that simulate urban warfare conditions. What the actual fook is going on here?

@Barbramon1 intimidation.
@noiseician It doesn't seem to be working. Just pissing people off. 🀬
@Barbramon1 yes i highly doubt it's achieving the desired effect but this is a regime full of small, petty dullards who love action for the sake of action... in a word - fascists. πŸ™„
@Barbramon1 it is also a sign that they are preparing for mass resistance when they cancel the midterms...
@noiseician They may want to, but elections WILl NOT be cancelled. Period.
@Barbramon1 they will try though
@noiseician We shall see...
They are evil, but they are also fooking dimwits.
@Barbramon1 Welp it’s only going on where there are majority Democrats and D Governors.
@cobalt123 Is this happening anywhere but California?
@Barbramon1 I’ve not heard of this anywhere. I’m a little concerned for the Trump promise of a surge in DC.
@cobalt123 Really? A surge? Why? I thought trump had made DC "the safest city in the world". He said it just the other day. Heavy dose of sarcasm here. I don't believe a word he says.
We will see what he actually does.

@Barbramon1

The coup, obviously. They're practicing for rounding up all non-christians, non-whites, and non-magats.

@MissGayle I think that something of that scale would be impossible. 110 million of US citizens are not affiliated with the Christian religion. They can't arrest one third of the population.
Only 25% of US are Magas. The math doesn't work.

@Barbramon1

I believe they think they can. And when they figure out they can't, they'll go straight to executions.

@MissGayle Only if they are stupid enough to think that one third of the population won't fight back. They are dumb, and most of them are chicken shites as well. They won't take on the majority of the country that is not maga.

@Barbramon1

I'm not sure there's really any defense against soldier fanatics going door to door and just killing everyone at their list of addresses. It's not like they care whether or not who they're shooting is really lgbtq, or non-christian, or that some family members are white. To them, it's guilt by association. Everyone with the "wrong" worldview is fair game - literally, as they're mentally on the level of 14 yr olds playing a video game. They will enjoy it. They'll think it's fun.

@Barbramon1 Nat Guard units from other states or Californians?

Training defense against foreign or "domestic enemies" (opponents of the Trump regime)?

Who ordered urban training, the objectives of which were....?

@Barbramon1
Practice for the real thing.
Simple thus likely only reason.
@ChrisHolladay Nah. It's attempted intimidation, but it's just pissing people off. Fuck trump.
