My take: Krasnov will declare Martial Law on June 14,

with all those troops and heavy equipment in DC.

This may have been the plan all along.

I think he’s trying to incite a major riot in Los Angeles, THIS WEEK, before Saturday, in order to declare a ‘State of Emergency’, so he can then ban ALL protests across the country, making it illegal for any of the No Kings protests to even take place.

I hope I'm wrong on this, but I can't discount the realities of these troubled times.

Plans that we know nothing about. It certainly would be great timing and excellent theater, something that Trump thrives on.

Very true.
I didn't mean to be dismissive of the post. Like people are saying, could be a practice run for blue states/blue cities across the country

Meanwhile, Trump must be loving all this drama like he's writing his own movie script. Someone should tell him such tyrant stories almost always end badly FOR the tyrant. Sadly, it could also end badly for the planet.

I presume once protests erupt after that declaration, it gives him a fig leaf of “cover”
