Trump administration fires top US general and Navy chief in unprecedented purge of military leadership

This is an internal coup, there's no doubt about it. I'm not sure how the oligarchs are letting this happen. It's insane. Their regret will not make me happy.

Unprecedented? Not according to the playbook we're following to the fucking 't'.

Hey Americans if you were looking for a red line this should probably be it...

General Brown was abruptly dismissed as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on February 21, 2025 by President Donald Trump. Trump subsequently announced that Brown would be replaced with John D. Caine, who did not meet the legal prerequisites for the position, and who, according to Trump, had pledged "I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir.", while wearing a MAGA hat.

As a Canadian, this looks worryingly like he's lining up the military leadership who will be prepared to invade Canada - not to mention Gaza, Greenland, Panama, and any parts of Europe Putin doesn't want yet.

Ugh .. ENLISTED MEN WOULD HAVE LISTENED TO YOU! YOU COULD HAVE STOPPED HIM!!

This is when we need the educated officers in our military to step the fuck up and end this shit.

Imagine helping to protect your country for 40 years, only to have a felon who is offended over the existence of people with any skin colour besides white take all that away from you. I predict that a white man will be offered to take Brown's place and will be far less qualified.

That's what all of this anti "DEI" (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) is about, purging anyone who isn't a straight, able-bodied white male.

When is America going to do a Mussolini to trump? Hopefully they dont wait as long as Fascist Italy did

"The removal of the second Black man to serve as America’s most senior general and the first woman to" .....and there it is.

I was just talking to a friend yesterday who mentioned that the conditions for China to invade Taiwan will be optimal in three weeks based on the ocean conditions and ship movements.

I said even if Trump wants to be the "president of peace" and avoid interfering, the generals wouldn't allow the inaction. I think my exact words were, "he would have to fire them all in the next two weeks."

And unfortunately, us normies don't have a prayer against a modern military intent on enforcing fascism.

I hope the joint Chiefs already had plans in place as a contingency for this. Now is the time for a military coup. The sooner it's done, the less messy things will get

Remember a few months ago when Trump said he needed generals like Hitler had

This shit is moving so fast. And any pushback initiative to the insanity moves so slow. I hope there will be real elections again in a few years, but it feels like game-over tbh

Even if Americans actually stand up to this and General Strike or something, how long will it take anyone who isn't a white man to believe pretty much anything the American government tells them?

I was skeptical the entire country was going to fall, but now I think it is already happening. Putin won the cold war after we all thought it was over, I guess. And what a world he's provided for us...

I have been thinking that the US military is probably the final stop on Trump because they have been somewhat more rational. Well, as expected, it will no longer be the case.

This is some dark shit. Removing proven leaders to promote cronies is both detrimental to our military strength and a massive red flag to our democracy. How this entire fascist takeover is being allowed is baffling to me. I genuinely fear for America.

Just prepping the landscape for the Russian takeover 😅😢

Foreign and domestic!

So is this even legal? Are there seriously no checks and balances for this kinda stuff?

Waiting for Trump to put the leaders of the Proud Boys and Oathkeepers into these positions.

"Trump administration fires all non-white chiefs in unprecedented purge of military leadership"

Fixed the title

so the Purge is coming to fruition.
