Two questions

Are there enough of them to throw up anything more than a token resistance?

Is token resistance by design so Biden or Harris or future presidents won't have to make a tougher decision while looking tough on communism?

Don't think for one second that isn't possible with the current military leadership and political administration. **nononono*
