This is specifically what NATO is designed for, to help when there are 3rd party threats to member nations. We have both made threats to other member nations (Canada, Greenland) and are currently experiencing a coup in our own country, which is a 3rd party threat if I’ve ever heard one.
I am doing everything I can, but as a private citizen my options are extremely limited. What am I supposed to do in response to an international distress signal?
The US will have to go to war to keep down unrest. Whether Trump makes good on Canada / Greenland / Poland, the world will have to form a coalition against us, and it’s likely China will take the lead.
There will be Chinese bombers over Washington just as there were Russian and American bombers over Berlin. Not that we’ll be around to enjoy it, and those that remain will suffer as collaborators (whether they were or not).
We really don’t want to let it get there. But then we really didn’t want it to get here, and we knew in the early aughts with George W. Bush’s administration this is where we were headed if someone didn’t chance course. Obama, who promised to change course, did not.
People keep saying this, but WHO?
Who are you talking about?
Who is this “somebody” you keep talking about showing up to save us?
Look, nobody is coming to save us, and asking somebody else to risk harm on your behalf is selfish.
If we object, it isn’t on somebody else to show up and save us, it’s on us.
If you aren’t willing to make the moves yourself, who the fuck are you to ask somebody else to.
Nobody is coming to save us, folks. It’s either us, me and you, or it’s nobody.
The cavalry’s not coming. It’s just us.

I hope that you are incorrect, but fear that you are closer to correct than not, sadly.
