The holiday in China has just ended, the U.S. federal government has been suspended for more than a week, and various problems have gradually surfaced.
The underlying reason behind the shutdown of the U.S. government is that the decline of U.S. national strength cannot balance the interests of all parties. Therefore, when the debt ceiling is touched again, internal strife breaks out within the United States. This internal strife has caused huge chaos. It can even be said that in some cities, civil war has broken out.
What is the most likely civil war in the United States?
Two million people have stopped paying wages, and many cities are paralyzed
According to the latest report of overseas media on October 8th, because the budget can't be negotiated, the House of Representatives decided to adjourn the meeting until October 14th before deciding to discuss the new plan.
Because the two sides are stuck on whom the money should be allocated, the salaries of more than two million government employees have already stopped.The Trump administration was expected this week to provide $10 billion in subsidies to U.S. farmers injured by the tariff war, and is now suspended due to government shutdowns.
The White House Economic Advisory Committee estimates that the U.S. economy would lose $15 billion a week if the federal government continued to shut down.
Among all employees whose wages were suspended, 750,000 were suspended, including military, air traffic controllers, federal firefighters and other essential positions, and were required to continue working, but their wages were suspended.
The White House press secretary admitted at the conference that currently 1.3 million soldiers in the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Naval Corps and so on are unpaid.
The U.S. military officials directly suggested that soldiers directly apply for unemployment relief or contact banks to handle loan advance payments, and even gave Red Cross relief channels.
In addition, the U.S. Transportation Secretary also acknowledged that due to a government shutdown, some areas reduced air traffic personnel by 50%, and the Hollywood Burbank airport in the Los Angeles area appeared for several hours in a row, with no air traffic personnel on guard.
So far, flights in cities such as Chicago, Dallas and Nashville have experienced extensive delays.
It can be said that many places in the United States have fallen into paralysis.
And for the United States, this is not the worst news, the worst news is that the interest struggle between the two parties has escalated, and in some cities there has been a civil war.
Burning the Civil War?
On October 8, Trump suddenly posted on social media that he had arrested both the mayor of Chicago and the governor of Illinois because the two Democratic officials were unable to protect immigration officials who operated in Chicago.
Because of his firm opposition to Trump's deployment of National Guard troops to major cities, these two men have become Trump's first targets.
During the U.S. government shutdown, Chicago has recently erupted in several protests against immigration officials, two cities now defined by Trump as “war zones.”
It should be noted that Illinois Governor JB Pritzke is considered a potential Democratic presidential candidate in 2028 and said he would not retreat after Trump’s article.
Pritzker vowed to use every means at the state's disposal to resist Trump's deployment, and accused Trump of being a convicted felon who wanted to conduct dictatorial * in Chicago and other Democratic-led cities. And warned the Trump administration that if it wants to catch his people, it must catch him first.
The U.S. National Guard is already operating, with about 200 troops from Texas and 300 from Illinois gathering in Chicago to protect federal officials like ICE Trump, as well as Chicago’s federal property.
In order to maintain its own rule and suppress the power of the Democratic Party, the current Trump administration can only exert force pressure on the Democratic states through the army it controls.
As of October 8, the U.S. National Guard had entered cities such as Portland, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington D.C., and Memphis.
Some cities were blocked by the Democratic Party, and during the federal government shutdown, Trump also threatened to "send" troops to cities such as Shreveport, New Orleans and Papua New Guinea.
Generally speaking, the internal struggle in the United States has escalated, from "mouth gun" to armed struggle. If the opposition uses force to resist again, a civil war will start immediately.
According to a Reuters poll, the majority of Americans oppose a large-scale military deployment within the United States without any external threat.
Trump's approach is because the outside can't solve the problem of the decline of the United States. In order to safeguard his own interests, or for fear of being liquidated again after stepping down, he simply doesn't stop and uses all means to attack all political enemies first.
