I haven't read the whole of this thread yet so apologies if someone has already made the point but as regards the C's comments on 'Remember the Alamo!!', I seem to recall that President Trump deliberately went to the Alamo to make his last major televised speech to the American nation before retiring as President. It also seems that Florida and Texas are amongst his main power bases/platforms for launching a fresh bid for the Presidency in 2024. He also lives in Florida. If there is going to be an armed confrontation with the populace in those states, will Trump intervene and play some part in the fight back I wonder? Could he be the new Jefferson Davis maybe?
In the meantime, the C's have warned about other events intervening that could affect Macron's plans. Certainly the strange weather all over Europe has been a major feature in recent weeks and could be a harbinger of much worse to come. Whilst many people's attentions may be focused currently on the Olympic Games in Tokyo, something nasty could be brewing in the South China Sea - see China warns UK as carrier strike group approaches. My sister has informed me from Seattle tonight that the US currently has waiting in the wings three Aircraft carrier groups watching proceedings in the South China Sea. Is a military confrontation being deliberately engineered? For those who may not be aware, there are not just British planes on the carrier but US Marine Corp aircraft as well. Hence, any hostile Chinese action against the Queen Elizabeth will be deemed an action against US forces too. The British have recent history here when only the other month a British naval destroyer goaded a Russian ship into firing at it off the coast of the Crimea in a similar freedom of navigation exercise.
