No way this happens. UN forces on American soil would kick off a civil war.

Wouldn't that be skipping a few steps anyways ? National Guard, Marines, then UN if failed ?

I assume that's the point. the UN can stand against the national guard

First thing i thought. Why the fuck would you skip all the other options...

bc the National Guard won't play ball?

Interesting limitation :

Under 18 U.S.C. § 831, the Attorney General may request that the Secretary of Defense provide emergency assistance if domestic law enforcement is inadequate to address certain types of threats involving the release of nuclear materials, such as potential use of a nuclear or radiological weapon. Such assistance may be by any personnel under the authority of the Department of Defense, provided such assistance does not adversely affect U.S. military preparedness. The only exemption is nuclear materials.

Does this mean presidential approval isn't required ? Or maybe it's just the way I'm reading it.

Nope, you're reading that correctly. This asswipe is completely bypassing the US not toention that Trump specifically threatened to send personnel.

And that's why a UN invasion would be illegal and why their foreign soldiers would be shot on sight by our many armed citizens from Southern Illinois (Chicago and S. illinois disagree on gun issues).

So what you're saying is that you wouldn't mind a bit of action, huh ?!

My rifles are oiled. I hope I only use them on cardboard.
