七個多月前,曾寫過一個帖子,說對川普同學“獨裁傾向”的憂慮,在這兒:
“中國的將軍們知道怎麽做”,川普同學說 - 博客 | 文學城
其中主題說的是川普上屆總統任內就派美國聯邦軍人對美國民眾使用武力曆史事件分析。結論是:
用軍隊的槍對著本國平民,這一點,美國法律,美國軍隊,美軍文化是完全不同於“中國的將軍們”的。
而此時此刻,川普總統以維護“聯邦執法人員安全與工作”的名義,已經派了700名海軍陸戰隊員進駐洛杉磯。不是假設,而是現實。對此,加州州長在社交媒體上發此聲明:
Gavin Newsom
U.S. Marines serve a valuable purpose for this country -- defending democracy. They are not political pawns. The Secretary of Defense is illegally deploying them onto American streets so Trump can have a talking point at his parade this weekend. It’s a blatant abuse of power. We will sue to stop this. The Courts and Congress must act. Checks and balances are crumbling. This is a red line — and they’re crossing it. WAKE UP!

同時,紐時的報道如下:
So far, National Guard troops and Marines in Los Angeles appear to have largely stayed out of confrontations between protesters and local police. But the deployments are striking because military troops are meant to be used domestically only in the rarest and most extreme situations.

希望下麵的結論不會被測試:
用軍隊的槍對著本國平民,這一點,美國法律,美國軍隊,美軍文化是完全不同於“中國的將軍們”的。
如果萬幸中之不幸,如上結論被在洛杉磯測試,希望美國法律,美國軍隊,美軍文化會是合眾國的屏障。
先寫這些,餓了,去吃 TACO了,^_^。
