    15,000 marginalized people with military training that just got betrayed by their own government can, also, represent a tactical advantage.

      True, but it’s not like they’re organized. If this was happening 10 years from now with an actual organized left that could quickly take the opportunity I’d more readily agree with you. Taking the opportunity away from us to turn these people into allies preemptively is surely a negative.

      It does beg the question of where they’ll go from here.

        It hasn’t happened yet.

        Not a lot of time to get organized, but not impossible either… not that I expect anyone to even try.
