America didn't invade Iraq to impose gender studies degrees on them. So citing the absence of something that was never a goal or a victory condition is an odd way to advance an argument.
Dude, that's what The Left intends to do to America. Using a loyal cucked military, I guess, from your description of how it's going to come down.
More the half the American military would choose our side. It didn't work for Maduro either.
More than half of the military would choose our side if we continue to win hearts and minds, and maintain a political presence. Aka as long as there are people who hold our same values and ideals.
Which is why focusing on government and culture is a better use of time than prepping for a civil war that ain't gonna happen until it's too late for you to possibly win.
Insurgencies work if they have some direction and leadership. But they can fail too without those key elements. The American traditional folks really could end up being treated like Native Americans. A slow crushing of your lifestyle, values and freedoms.
You've been on this forum for a while Carlus. How you think an insurgency conducted by people like you see here is gonna go, man? You're ex-military, dude. You know I'm not lying.
First of all, we all have too big of a digital footprint of our ideas on line. So if its the Xir gov coming after us they can just pull a Mueller on us and raid our home at 4AM, shoot our dogs and take our shit. Game over. Most of us are too old to do fighting in the field even if we have the skills and equipment. However you can be in the insurgency and never pick up a rifle. I imagine folks like Nukedog would be fantastic as internet disinformation and sowing confusion or gathering intel.
It really depends on whether or not Patriot types can find something to coalesce around. To date, other than DJT there hasn't been much. So that's the big challenge for them. Look at the Red-Blue maps and there is a helluva lot of red territory. The US military didn't have enough troops in either Iraq or Afghanistan to control those countries and they are a fraction of the size of the US. Plus Americans have a ton of wealth and tools to work with. Hell there's a retired or amateur machinist in nearly every neighborhood in this damn country.
Guessing at another civil war, I'd think most the fighting would be on the fringes of the deep blue areas, but there would be a lot of neighbor on neighbor low intensity shit too.
... you have even one leftist neighbor you could see going Rambo on you?
I don't. And you know where I live.
These fuckers will call the cops in a heartbeat. And they'll take to social media to rumor-monger and doxx. But an actual, violent, physical confrontation with deadly stakes? Noooooo fucking way. They aren't cut out for that.
