Simultaneous purging of the chief generals of all three branches.
They are ensuring the military has no cohesiveness to stage a future coup against the Executive Branch, and are replacing all control with their own loyalists.

    I really doubt there will ever be an invasion of Canada. Barely anyone in America would go along with a massive war (and that’s what it would require). Congress doesn’t want it — not even Republicans. The business community doesn’t want it. Maybe a few hardcore MAGA types would be willing to fight for him but in reality, most MAGA types are old, fat slobs, not young people of fighting age.

    Plus, we couldn’t occupy Iraq and Afghanistan. There’s no way we’d be able to occupy all of Canada. (Especially Quebec. It seems like they’d sooner fight to the death than become Americans.)

      When the cost of disobeying a direct order during “wartime” is prison or even execution, most soldiers will obey.

      Especially since most of the American military is deeply conservative and ChristoFascist in the first place.

      It doesn’t start as a massive war but as small interventions about next to nothing. It suddenly became massive war, in hindsight, viewed from 15 years later.
