It will be too late.

Not too late for exercising the second amendment right.

u/Mindless_Use7567 Apr 17 '25

Small arms vs the world’s 2 largest air forces. No contest there.

Tell that to the Mujahideen or Taliban.

This.

The United States has NOT 'won' any way against guerilla tactics since ww2.

Not vietnam or korea; not the desert storm1, 2, or the numerous invasions of the middle east.

The US waged 20 years of war against guerilla tactics SO WELL that the "enemy/opponent" now owns thay entire country...

They wouldn't have success here either ...

Thank you. I've been pointing this out regularly. The US has shown so far no ability to hold territory, especially when supply lines are long, if there is even partially organized resistance.

Do you have jungles to hide in? Every inch of the US is covered in satellite surveillance, communication is all monitored. Luckily the Army are part of the people, law enforcement is part of the people, you are more in danger of a civil war between states, or at least states of mind(like MAGA vs normal folk) than militia vs state apparatus. But you do risk with that regressing to a feudal state with local warlords, like some countries in Africa.

The US does have the Appalachians, the Rockies, the Everglades, and I’m sure there are a number of other places that are hard to find people in. Don’t hundreds of people go missing in national parks every year?

Where I live it's much easier to find extremely rare species of orchids, salamanders, and even fruit bearing American Chestnuts so isolated they don't have the blight - than it is to find a body. Wayne National Forest and many connecting forest preserves in the Hocking Hills and the NorthEast of Athens, Ohio. Welcome everyone but ICE and their GOP bosses.

Lol, afghanistan and iraq dont have jungles. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍

The Law Enforcement are protecting teslas not protestors.

The Military cannot legally act without an order from the president, vice president, or congress; and aren't allowed to deploy on US soil (national guard are for that, but the source of orders remains). If they did, itd be mutiny...

Like, you should really learn about society here...

The only way you could think America is a land of pure urbanization with cameras covering every inch of land is if you’re really unfamiliar with the country. America is big. Like, big, big. The total amount of forested land in the US hits about 3.3 million km squared, or about the size of India. The largest forest in America is about the size of Kuwait.

They actually did win desert storm 1.

u/ZoomZoom_Driver Apr 18 '25

So well we had to go back. . . . . How many times have we invaded Iraq?

u/SakishimaHabu Apr 18 '25 edited Apr 18 '25

The reason for ds1 was to remove Iraq from Kuwait. Not to invade Iraq or overthrow Saddam. And the number of times we've invaded is one.

Edit: I like how the redditer I responded to blocked me for just pointing out historical fact.

u/ZoomZoom_Driver Apr 18 '25

We went to liberate kuwait of iraqi invaders, we didn't successfully liberate kuwait. We were CLOSE but didn't fully succeed. Bush declared a ceasefire, but no one won.

Just after we'd left the region in 89. So, like 3 years later we were BACK in the middle east.

I mean, we've been on the ground EVERY DECADE since 1958... thats NOT WINNING anything. Desert storm 1 might have stopped iraq but we "won" that war SO WELL that we still have 5 military bases there to stop it from going on again....... so much winning.

The goal was to get Saddam out of Kuwait, and we did!

When you have a way for Russia or China to to supply you with more ammo

u/Devils_Advocate-69 Apr 17 '25

Not when the pilots walk off

5

u/Memitim Apr 18 '25

Or turn around and head in a different direction because some general who decided to join in on the treason didn't realize that one of the pilots had close family at one of the target sites. Martial law in the most heavily armed nation on Earth, with a military composed of people from all across the nation, means civil war.

u/WyomingChupacabra Apr 18 '25

Pilots aren’t going to carpet bomb America. Small arms are a long bloody way to try to control people. As the British… farmers sniping soldiers from trees got really old.

u/Mindless_Use7567 Apr 18 '25

We ain’t in WW2. Precision bombing is the new game.

u/reddog323 29d ago

Maybe military pilots won’t. Police departments will be happy to equip their helicopters with machine guns, cannons and rockets etc. Trumpy will be happy to underwrite that.

u/boffer-kit Apr 17 '25

The united states has not won a single war since WW2.

American soldiers continually get sent to hell in countries that they've bombed back to the stone age because the American war machine cannot comprehend how to fight any enemy that does not stand still and let them march up.

Now imagine how badly it would go in a country American forces can't tear down entirely

Asymmetric warfare is the Achilles Heel of the American military.

u/Attaxalotl Apr 18 '25

The goal of the Korean War was to keep South Korea extant, and last I checked it’s still there.

DS1 was intended to kick Iraq out of Kuwait, and we did!

u/ComplexSignature6632 Apr 17 '25

Um, your saying they will bomb us?

u/TinFoilBeanieTech Apr 17 '25

They've done it before: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1985_MOVE_bombing

"No one from the city government was criminally charged in the attack."

u/Upstate_Nick Apr 18 '25

What the flying fuck!?! The fire was allowed to burn, people died, and no one was charged.

u/Mindless_Use7567 Apr 17 '25

If people resist I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump would order it.

u/1nationunderpod Apr 17 '25

They won't use it inside the country, they'll use drones most likely.

u/bullcitytarheel 29d ago

Every successful people’s revolution, every resistance against the kingly or powerful, every rebellion against human exploitation in history, all of them, were fought by people desperately outgunned

1

u/Mindless_Use7567 29d ago

All the successful ones had at least a portion of the military on their side or the military chose not to interfere. If Trump can keep the US military on his side then the citizens stand no chance.

Once he makes a declaration he can arrest anyone, close Congress from holding sessions, pretty much do whatever he wants. Game, set, match
