Yes, the the US military will follow these orders. They will not sieze control of the government over illegal and obviously outlandish orders. They're going to do exactly as told. They may shuffle their feet on the streets of Minneapolis and reporters will do stories like "we talked to soldiers - they say they don't want to be here doing this." Libs will eat it up and scream "we support da trooooops"

There's no steam valve in the US anymore - except perhaps delusions like crypto or meme stocks or whatever new scheme that can give people hope that they personally can grab enough cash to escape.
The only thing holding this together the complete inability for the people in the US to step out of line without it ruining them. Its pure atomization here. Everyone knows its bad, but what are they going to do not go to work? Then it will be worse for them individually. Which sounds like an indictment of them, but they are absolutely correct. There is no help for anyone here. They aren't going to find support anywhere.
The population has been made politically illiterate through state propganda/education system. Even in colleges here. I majored in history and Marx was never talked about.
Obviously contridictions are sharpening, which is positive, but there is a lot to overcome in the US. Its not just "hey you need to organize." Of course that is true, but even in these conditions - there are limits to what can be accomplished here. The revolutionary left was wiped out in this country by the end of 70's. Couple that with extreme atomization of the US and you can understand the challenges the left has.
The ruling class whether they understood it or not, made a choice in 2016 and 2020. Bernie presented an option of recognition that the empire was over and we could wind down and decline in stability by offering concessions to the prolitariat with imperial spoils. Instead they presented to public with two different delusional visions of imperial future. The ruling class chose barbarism and there is no escape from that decision, only confrontation and escaltation.
Not trying to sound doomer about this. As this goes on it will lead to conditions where more positive outcomes are possible for more of humanity. I do think the US will get to positive outcomes later than the rest of the world. But a better world is not only possible - people are living it in AES, and they are building it every day in those nations. Communism will win.
Went really long with this, but its just a lot of stuff that's been on my mind
