Depends on how loud the Drum was

2019-01-28 05:59:17 UTC  

Foreign invasion is always a constant threat regardless of the nation

2019-01-28 06:06:47 UTC  

Having the large amount of firearms poses a final problem for any theoretical invasion of the US

2019-01-28 06:09:48 UTC  

Ironically the US cant solve the problem which would be its greatest asset in a defensive war on its home soil

2019-01-28 14:56:54 UTC  

You say that like the numbers of firearms are the problem though.
It seems to stem more from society then the number of firearms.

2019-01-28 15:31:51 UTC  

yep. it's cultural and behavioral

2019-01-28 15:36:22 UTC  

The threat of invasion by the state is a bigger threat than invasion by a foreign nation.

2019-01-28 16:39:54 UTC  

yep

2019-01-28 19:39:41 UTC  

The Issue I was referring to was a prolonged insurgency

2019-01-28 19:40:02 UTC  

rather than prolific gun violence

2019-01-28 23:49:45 UTC  

Outright invasion isn't a threat in the current climate, a slow invasion and then continual terrorist style insurgent attacks are more of a concern and more likely to effect regular citizens, which is exaclty what we should try to avoid.

2019-01-28 23:49:54 UTC  

Tightening borders helps prevent these risks.

2019-01-29 01:53:33 UTC  

Hmm

2019-01-29 09:59:01 UTC  

u know it is too late for that cus it allready happend? they learned their lesons in WW1 and WW2 to take it slowly

2019-01-29 10:02:47 UTC  

Actually, industrial war is exactly why an outright invasion is unlikely since it'll justify escalation which can have globally apocalyptic consequences

2019-01-29 10:03:27 UTC  

Instead, a belligerent nation will fund and support a proxy terrorist group that they expect to become rogue (or pretend they didn't to their superiors)

2019-01-29 11:48:35 UTC  

Speaking of WWII America, do you think we have the capability (as a nation) to mobilize at the scale we could back in that time?

2019-01-29 13:03:06 UTC  

Hell no. Not with the globalist sentiments ATM.

2019-01-29 13:19:30 UTC  

of course no. there are a lot of countries that cant do that because they were slowly invaded and made that they cant defend

2019-01-29 14:08:01 UTC  

Yes, but there is no need that is just not how wars are fought anymore, the next one will probably be the last one

2019-01-29 14:13:05 UTC  

probs

2019-01-29 14:13:16 UTC  

with infinite resistance force

2019-01-29 14:15:29 UTC  

The next large scale industrial war will at least involve limited nuclear exchanges over important strategic targets. And at worst a full exchange.

2019-01-29 15:08:33 UTC  

Nuclear warfare is just another part of the UN's plan for "sustainable development"

2019-01-29 15:09:31 UTC  

Gotta get the world population as close to zero as possible, for the good of the people.

2019-01-29 15:09:53 UTC  

Global warming is bad because it will increase agricultural yeilds.

2019-01-29 15:44:07 UTC  

that's a bit to conspiracy theory for me

2019-01-29 15:44:26 UTC  

more people means more mindless NPCs to enslave

2019-01-29 17:23:11 UTC  

well yeah cus there are not enough souls so the world is creating NPC #nofreethinking

2019-01-29 17:31:23 UTC  

Modern war is so destructive that it would be over long before any of the belligerents have the time to tool up for mass production of modern weapon systems.

2019-01-29 17:31:52 UTC  

You pretty much have to fight with what you have on hand at the onset of hostilities.

2019-01-29 17:33:19 UTC  

Unless the belligerents doesn't have nukes, in which case, it would go on for over a decade

2019-01-29 17:33:19 UTC  

For example, if the US had to suddenly produce multiple F35s a day instead of one or two a week at present production, that would mean lots and lots of factories and specialized tooling.

2019-01-29 17:33:38 UTC  

Your enemy would be able to see you building those facilities, and strike them.

2019-01-29 17:33:52 UTC  

Depends on how early nuclear exchanges go

2019-01-29 17:34:06 UTC  

How many years has it been since the US invaded iraq?

2019-01-29 17:34:48 UTC  

I'm thinking of a peer-to-peer scenario here, not beating up on brown folk.

2019-01-29 17:35:51 UTC  

Also depends on how far anti ballistic tech has gotten.
I am 99% certain we don't know the capabilities to stop a nuclear strike

2019-01-29 17:35:54 UTC  

Beating up on brown folks that are still talked about to this day as a modern boogeyman akin to communism during the cold war.

2019-01-29 17:36:58 UTC  

I wonder if a nuclear shaped charge could be used to intercept missiles.

2019-01-29 17:38:31 UTC  

Well, even if you can intercept the missile, it would have to be far enough from the intended target to not cause major EMP damage which would cripple the country.
