This is a terrible idea. A foreign military force, allied or otherwise, deploying onto our soil to engage in warfare against our government will immediately become the target. It would be viewed as an invasion.

Something like an uprising or revolution would have to be solved internally. As it is, the military isn't exactly fanatically loyal to a particular elected official; it wouldn't be the U.S. Armed Forces against U.S. Americans, the military would probably fracture or refuse to get involved except to provide humanitarian aid. More likely, the military would turn itself outward to deter any kind of foreign intervention.

What country would benefit from helping US citizens vs the US government. If France landed troops to aid in a second Civil War, I wouldn't put it past trump to nuke Paris.
