Do these claims actually point to a crackdown?

I’d separate the claims and check each one on its own. Cooperation between two militaries does not by itself mean they have merged or share command. For that, look for clear official documents and reliable reporting that explains what changed, rather than relying on a short clip or a post without context.

The allegation about intelligence services acting against U.S. citizens is much more serious. It needs direct, verifiable evidence, not a prediction built from the first claim.

The historical comparison seems overstated. The 1918 Soviet measure condemned antisemitism and pogroms, but describing it as an automatic death sentence for anyone accused of antisemitism, with no legal protections, is not an accurate summary.

That matters because a frightening historical analogy can make a present-day prediction feel proven when it is not. The modern claims still need evidence of their own.

Plain version: a military agreement, a political speech, and an operational order are three different things. To establish a plan to target Americans, I’d want authenticated directives or other concrete documentation, plus independent corroboration. If the material only suggests a possibility, it doesn’t establish that the event is coming.
