Chain-of-command means orders come from your immediate superior doesn't it? Adding "Or to Subvert President Trump's agenda" pretty much nullifies that and by default makes our military on par with Russia's. Good weapons do fuck and all when not used as intended.
Putin must be laughing his ass off at how effectively he's destroying the US military without firing a single shot at it.
Yeah this. Very much.
Without Trump Putin would've been finished, but since Trumputler, Russia is still an actual danger to the world.
Russian disinfo is just so fking prevalent and idiots fall for it. And most people are idiots.
Trump would be like this regardless of Putin
Trump wouldn't be the president without Putin.
That's not what chain of command means. It simply establishes the hierarchy. Commands can be given by anyone who outranks you, or holds a billet that comes with higher authority. Trump and Vance at the top of that chain and can issue legal orders to literally anyone in the US military.
Not that the rule of law matters, but the VP is not in the military chain of command. There is no vice commander-in-chief. It goes pres then his Chiefs of Staff/Generals.
Of course they could just lean on the undermining trumps agenda of stripping Greenland of its resources, but that's not why the base was there. Or I guess that is why it's there now.....idk.
No, second in command is the Secretary of Defense. But if the Vice President is acting on behalf or under direction of the president it could be seen as a billet. Walking around bases every unit has pictures of their chains of command, all of them include the VP and have for a long time.
Makes sense since VP could have to assume role of president instantly if president dies or is removed from office or resigns. But if they are only disabled, then VP becomes acting president. Made me wonder whether acting president or the disabled president will be commander-in-chief then.
I googled a bit and could've figured it out probably. But that's a pretty niche question.
I know this will bring in the downvotes but I think LLMs aren't horrible for use like this.
I asked it "if the president of the US was disabled then the vice president would become the acting president but not the actual president but would that mean that they would also be the acting Commander in Chief?"
And got a decent reply with a low chance of any hallucinations, because of the nature of the facts and it showing it's reasoning.
They can issue orders. Not all are legal. But since they replaced the JAGs, this might be closer to reality.
Hopefully they all remember their oaths of enlistment are to the Constitution first, THEN the president.
I've heard that the green crayons are good for abstract thought about legality.
If they remembered, they would have rolled through the supreme court building the day they said we have kings again.
Military ain't gonna do shit.
There grey areas in parallel chains but all chains end in Washington at the capital.
It's one for the books to be sure. Also there are a huge portion of Americans cheering it on because they're too stupid to know better.
We don't need Putin as an excuse for Trump's (and his lap dogs') behavior. This bunch would do this no matter what.
They wouldn't be in the fucking white house without Putin.
